ἀνθρώπ-ινος G0442
Human, of or pertaining to mankind; characteristic of people as distinct from the divine or animal.
An adjective meaning 'human' or 'of mankind,' used to distinguish what belongs to the sphere of human experience from what is divine, supernatural, or merely natural. Paul employs it frequently: in 1 Cor 10:13, the reassurance that temptation is 'common to man' (human, not beyond endurance); in 1 Cor 2:13, wisdom taught not in 'human' words but in the Spirit's. In Rom 6:19 Paul apologizes for speaking 'in human terms' because of the audience's weakness. The translations converge perfectly — Spanish 'humano/a,' French 'humain,' German 'menschlich' — marking the human sphere as limited but intelligible.
