Greek preposition 2596 kata was 107 times reasonably translated into “according to” because the flesh thoughts and feelings of flesh human grammatical objects sitting in church pews are down from “after” and “according to” the flesh thoughts and feelings of the flesh grammatical subject standing behind the pulpit or any other purveyor of any other social network displacing God as the grammatical subject of more than 8 billion human beings during this earth age. Greek adjective 692 argos describes and qualifies more than 8 billion human beings who are devoid of God’s works during this earth age which is synonymous with bearing no [spiritual] fruit. It is impossible to bear spiritual fruit if your grammatical subject is another flesh human being. Jesus in John 6:63 said “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” understanding that “quickeneth” was translated from Greek verb 2227 zoopoieo that subjectively means to make spiritually alive and objectively means to be made spiritually alive. Greek verb 2227 zoopoieo is the verb form of Greek feminine noun 2222 zoe that is spiritual life itself and was translated into “life” in John 6:63. English “profiteth” emboldened in John 6:63 was translated from Greek verb 5623 opheleo and “nothing” was translated from Greek pronoun 3762 oudeis that was 94 times better translated into “no man”. Do not look past the fact that Jesus actually said It is the spirit that makes us spiritually alive; the flesh profiteth no man: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
In order to understand “profiteth” we need to follow God’s 2Timothy 2:15, 19-21 directive by studying every word in each verse containing Greek masculine noun 3781 opheiletes Greek feminine noun 3782 opheile Greek neuter noun 3783 opheilema Greek verb 3784 opheilo it’s past tense Greek particle 3785 ophelon Greek neuter noun 3786 ophelos Greek feminine noun 5622 opheleia Greek verb 5623 opheleo and Greek adjective 5624 ophelimos which is from Greek neuter noun 3786 ophelos. The aforementioned 9 Greek words are all subsequent to the debt we owe relative to the price God paid for us on a Roman cross and each word associated with “profiteth” is pursuant to paying that debt and why Romans 4:4 and James 2:26 say “Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt”. “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
