becoming spiritual

I was reading through some early Christian writings and I came across this:

"For the scripture saith; Woe unto them that are wise for
themselves, and understanding in their own sight. Let us become
spiritual, let us become a temple perfect unto God. As far as in us
lies, let us exercise ourselves in the fear of God, [and] let us
strive to keep His commandments, that we may rejoice in His
ordinances."
-THE EPISTLE OF BARNABAS 4:11 Translated by J.B. Lightfoot.
