And they that went in, went in male and female Of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both Of fowl, and Of cattle, and Of beast, and Of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, Of all flesh, both Of fowl, and Of cattle, and Of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters Of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature Of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

If one bear holy flesh in the skirt Of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.

Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out Of his holy habitation.

Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh Of another.

For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh Of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that Of the fruit Of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

• Corruption

He seeing this before spake Of the resurrection Of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

• Lord

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made Of the seed Of David according to the flesh;

Therefore by the deeds Of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge Of sin.

I speak after the manner Of men because Of the infirmity Of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

For when we were in the flesh, the motions Of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

• War

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law Of God; but with the flesh the law Of sin.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness Of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

That the righteousness Of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things Of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things Of the Spirit.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit Of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit Of Christ, he is none Of his.

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds Of the body, ye shall live.

Whose are the fathers, and Of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

That is, They which are the children Of the flesh, these are not the children Of God: but the children Of the promise are counted for the seed.

• Day

To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction Of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day Of the Lord Jesus.

Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat Of the sacrifices partakers Of the altar?

All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind Of flesh Of men, another flesh Of beasts, another Of fishes, and another Of birds.

• Corruption

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom Of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also Of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness Of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear Of God.

But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think Of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

• Messenger
• Thorn
• War

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance Of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger Of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works Of the law, but by the faith Of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith Of Christ, and not by the works Of the law: for by the works Of the law shall no flesh be justified.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith Of the Son Of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Ye know how through infirmity Of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.

But he who was Of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he Of the freewoman was by promise.

• Walking

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust Of the flesh.

• Flesh
• Heaven
• War

Now the works Of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: Of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom Of God.

• Corruption

For he that soweth to his flesh shall Of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall Of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

• Diplomacy

As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross Of Christ.

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts Of our flesh, fulfilling the desires Of the flesh and Of the mind; and were by nature the children Of wrath, even as others.

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law Of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself Of twain one new man, so making peace;

• Sincere
• Heart

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness Of your heart, as unto Christ;

• Darkness

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers Of the darkness Of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit Of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

In the body Of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

• Church
• Temple

Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind Of the afflictions Of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

• Steadfast
• Character
• Decision

For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness Of your faith in Christ.

In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body Of the sins Of the flesh by the circumcision Of Christ:

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision Of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Which things have indeed a shew Of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting Of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying Of the flesh.

• Sincere
• Heart

Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness Of heart, fearing God:

And without controversy great is the mystery Of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen Of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

• Power

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers Of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part Of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power Of death, that is, the devil;

• Prayer

Who in the days Of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

For if the blood Of bulls and Of goats, and the ashes Of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying Of the flesh:

Furthermore we have had fathers Of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father Of spirits, and live?

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust Of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

• Glory

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory Of man as the flower Of grass. the grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

the like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away Of the filth Of the flesh, but the answer Of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection Of Jesus Christ:

• Heathen
• Adultery
• Faithfulness

That he no longer should live the rest Of his time in the flesh to the lusts Of men, but to the will Of God. For the time past Of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will Of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess Of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess Of riot, speaking evil Of you:

But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust Of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil Of dignities.

• Vanity

For when they speak great swelling words Of vanity, they allure through the lusts Of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

• Eye

For all that is in the world, the lust Of the flesh, and the lust Of the eyes, and the pride Of life, is not Of the Father, but is Of the world.

Hereby know ye the Spirit Of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is Of God:

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not Of God: and this is that spirit Of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance Of eternal fire.

Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil Of dignities.

And others save with fear, pulling them out Of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

That ye may eat the flesh Of kings, and the flesh Of captains, and the flesh Of mighty men, and the flesh Of horses, and Of them that sit on them, and the flesh Of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

And the remnant were slain with the sword Of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out Of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
