On the earth, in the world1.41: This adjective denotes what belongs to or exists on the earth as opposed to heaven, used of Paul's contrast between the believer's present earthly tent-dwelling and the eternal house from God — "if our earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God" (2 Corinthians 5:1).
Human, of people9.7: It also describes what pertains to human, worldly existence in contrast to what is heavenly, used of Jesus' contrast between earthly things and heavenly things in His teaching to Nicodemus — "If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" (John 3:12).
