Flesh And Spirit - Bible readers often suppose that any mention of the word “flesh” is automatically in contrast with the concept of “spirit” and is, therefore, intrinsically evil. However, the early appearances of the word “flesh” in the Bible contrast with spirit only in the sense that the
Flesh is material substance, while the spirit is immaterial substance. The first mention of
Flesh occurs in
Genesis 2:21 , the account of the creation of woman from the side of man. The Bible simply records that God closed up Adam's
Flesh. Adam's own judgment in
Genesis 2:23 was that this is now “bone of my bones, and
Flesh of my
Flesh.
Genesis 2:24 suggests that the man and his wife would become “one
Flesh,” apparently indicating the sexual as well as the psychological union. ” Therefore, it may be safely concluded that the concept of “flesh” as such is not an evil concept but a part of the artistry and design of God. Nevertheless, it remains true that the Bible frequently contrasts
Flesh with spirit. Once our first parents had sinned, all subsequent offspring were born with a tendency toward evil that manifests itself particularly in the
Flesh. Hence, we are told in
Mark 14:38 (NAS) that “the spirit is willing but the
Flesh is weak. ” Thus, we are introduced to the fact that many of the temptations to which the human family is subject are those that relate to the
Flesh. We are, therefore, instructed not to fulfill “the lust of the
Flesh” (
1 John 2:16 ). We are warned, in fact, that “the
Flesh lusteth against the Spirit” (
Galatians 5:17 ). Paul wrote,...
“Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the
Flesh. For the
Flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
Flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. ”...
The walk of obedience to the Holy Spirit, who is enshrined in the human spirit of twice born men, is the only way to avoid allowing the
Flesh to rule. Essentially, the emphasis that Paul provides is not intended to suggest that the Spirit is good and the
Flesh is evil, but rather that the
Flesh should never rule the spiritual life of a man. Instead, the
Flesh must be subjugated and made useful to the spiritual purposes and goals of humanity. The word translated carnal, for example, in
Romans 8:7 , in which we are told that the “carnal mind” is enmity against God is a derivative of the Greek word for “flesh. ” Some Christians are carnal Christians (
1 Corinthians 3:1 ) meaning that, while they have been saved, they nevertheless are ruled more by their
Fleshly desires than by the Spirit. ...
One final limitation of the
Flesh is its limited duration.
1 Peter 1:24 informs us “all
Flesh is as grass. ”
Flesh, therefore, passes away, but the spirit of man survives the grave and lives on in either hell or heaven. ...

Flesh -
Flesh is primarily translated from two Hebrew words: basar and se'er and one Greek word sarx .
Flesh is used in a number of ways in the Bible. Even dead, a person is still called
Flesh (
1 Samuel 17:44 ) until the body returns as dust to the earth (
Ecclesiastes 12:7 ). ...
Food and Sacrifice The
Flesh of animals is used for food by humans (
Genesis 9:3-4 ;
1Samuel 2:13,1 Samuel 2:15 ), while human
Flesh may be eaten by animals (
Genesis 40:19 ;
Revelation 19:17-18 ). The
Flesh of animals is used for sacrifice (
Exodus 29:31 ). ...
Body The term “flesh” can denote the human body in its entirety—the part referring to the whole (
Judges 8:7 ;
1 Kings 21:27 ;
Ephesians 5:29 ;
Hebrews 9:13 ). It can also denote the opposite where the whole refers to the part, especially when referring to the sexual organs such as the circumcision of the
Flesh (
Genesis 17:14 ;
Galatians 6:13 ;
Ephesians 2:11 ;
Philippians 3:3 ;
Colossians 2:13 ; compare
Leviticus 15:2-3 ,
Leviticus 15:7 ,
Leviticus 15:19 ). It may signify a comprehensive sense whereby “all
Flesh” refers to all of humanity (
Joel 2:28 ;
Matthew 24:22 ) or including both the human and animal creation (
Genesis 6:13 ,
Genesis 6:17 ;
Genesis 7:16 ;
Leviticus 17:14 ). ...
Relationship Adam said of Eve's creation that she is the “bone of my bones, and
Flesh of my
Flesh” (
Genesis 2:23 ; compare
Genesis 29:14 ) denoting a kinship between the two, thus Adam and Eve were regarded as one
Flesh (
Genesis 2:24 ;
Matthew 19:5 ;
1 Corinthians 6:16 ;
Ephesians 5:31 ). Jesus was related to David with reference to the
Flesh (
Romans 1:3 ). It can refer to the outward expression of a person paralleling the inward action of the person as seen in
Psalm 63:1 where the “soul thirsts” and the “flesh faints” NRSV and in
Psalm 84:2 where the “heart and
Flesh sing for joy” (NRSV). Peter, quoting from
Psalm 16:1 , paralleled the
Flesh with the heart and soul (
Acts 2:26-27 ). Paul spoke of his sufferings for Christ as his
Flesh suffering (
Colossians 1:24 ). Greek philosophers saw the soul, heart, or mind distinguished from and superior to the
Flesh. Hence, the psalmist (
Psalm 73:26 ) referring to his “flesh and heart” sees the person in its entirety. Paul's reference to the
Flesh denotes all of humanity when he stated that no
Flesh is justified by the works of the law (
Romans 3:20 ;
Galatians 2:16 ). ...
Theological Significance Biblically, the
Flesh is viewed as the created and natural humanity. Adam and Eve were created as
Fleshly human beings. Because of the limited perspective and the weakness of the
Flesh, Adam and Eve accepted Satan's lie. The weakness of the
Flesh is seen in the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus found the disciples sleeping. He enjoined them to watch and pray lest they enter into temptation for “the spirit indeed is willing, but the
Flesh is weak” (
Matthew 26:41 ;
Mark 14:38 ). Here, the
Flesh was not sinful, but rather limited and weak due to fatigue, and easy to succumb to sleep. ...
In its weakness and limitation, the
Flesh tends to yield to the temptation of what seems good naturally. Since sin promises pleasure and fulfillment, the natural propensity is for the
Flesh to yield to sin's promises. Those who follow the impulses of the
Flesh are governed by the
Flesh and are characterized as those who live “after the
Flesh” (
Romans 8:5 ). Being enslaved to the desires of the
Flesh (
Ephesians 2:3 ), they have the mindset of the
Flesh (
Romans 8:5-7 ). Hence, the natural person controlled by the
Flesh does not and cannot submit to God's will or please God (
Romans 8:7-8 ;
1 Corinthians 2:14 ; compare
Genesis 6:13 ). The limitation of the
Flesh appears clearly in the human inability to discern God's revelation of Himself (
Matthew 16:17 ;
Galatians 1:13-24 ). Only death succeeds in convincing those who live according to the
Flesh of the fleeting, temporal nature of the
Flesh (
Romans 6:23 ;
Romans 8:6 ,
Romans 8:6,8:13 ).
Flesh-driven people are the children of wrath (
Ephesians 2:3 ). ...
Flesh is weak but not naturally sinful. Christ came in the “likeness” of sinful
Flesh (
John 1:14 ;
Romans 8:3 ;
Hebrews 4:15 ) to redeem those who are in sinful
Flesh. That is, Christ became a
Flesh and blood person but did not give in to the desires of the
Flesh. Instead, perfect in life and death, He died to provide salvation for all other persons, since they do give in to
Fleshly desires. Those who trust in God's provision in Christ remain physically “in” the
Flesh but do not live “according to” the
Flesh (
Galatians 2:20 ;
Philippians 1:22-24 ). They are characterized as those who are not in the
Flesh but in the Spirit (
Romans 8:9 ) because they are governed not by the
Flesh but by the Spirit (
Romans 8:6 ,
Romans 8:11-17 ). They are those who are led by the Spirit to put to death the deeds of the
Flesh, not the
Flesh itself (
Romans 8:13 ;
Galatians 5:24 ). Believers must be careful not to be tricked into thinking that they have any obligation to the
Flesh and its sinful, selfish desires (
Romans 8:12-13 ;
Galatians 3:3 ). The
Flesh serves as a base of operation for sin (
Romans 7:8 ,
Romans 7:11 ) and thus enslaves a person to sin (
Romans 6:15-23 ;
Romans 7:25 ). This does not imply that
Flesh is automatically sinful, but its history in Adam shows the weakness of
Flesh and its strong tendency to yield to the commands of sin. ...
In conclusion, the term “flesh” can be a neutral term referring to created humans and animals who are limited and weak, or it can refer to humans controlled by sin and its passions
Emaciate - ) To lose
Flesh gradually and become very lean; to waste away in
Flesh. ) To cause to waste away in

Flesh - Bâśâr (בָּשָׂר, Strong's #1320), “flesh; meat; male sex organ. ...
The word means the “meaty part plus the skin” of men: “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the
Flesh instead thereof” (
Flesh. 11:33, bâśâr means the meat or “flesh” of the quail that Israel was still chewing. Thus the word means “flesh,” whether living or dead. Eli’s sons did not know God’s law concerning the priests’ portion, so “when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s
servant came, while the

Flesh, and hast

Flesh sometimes means “blood relative”: “And Laban said to him
, Surely thou art my bone and my
Flesh” (
Flesh” or “our Flesh” standing alone may bear the same meaning: “Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our Flesh” ( Flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?” In such passages, then, bâśâr emphasizes the “visible and structural part” of man or animal. 13:2, the ideas “flesh” and “skin” are clearly distinguished. ...
Bâśâr sometimes represents the “male sex organ”: “Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his
Flesh , because of his issue he is unclean” (
Flesh” has several meanings. 5:26: “For who is there of all
Flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God …?” In another place, this phrase refers to “all living creatures within the cosmos,” or all men and animals (

Amalek - Esau is a type of the
Flesh, and Amalek is also a type of the
Flesh which has no place in the economy of GOD. So the human
Flesh is at enmity with GOD. That which is born of the
Flesh remains
Flesh. The
Flesh never gets converted, and never becomes holy in itself. There is no help for the
Flesh found in the Scriptures. ...
Exodus 17:14 (c) Amalek was to be kept in subjection by Israel, and this is a type of our
Flesh which is to be kept in subjection by the people of GOD. As the
Flesh lusts against the Spirit (
Galatians 5:17), so Amalek fought against Israel constantly, and the Lord declared that this battle was to continue and never cease. ...
Deuteronomy 25:17 (c) Here again Amalek is represented as a type of Satan and of the
Flesh, both of which attack GOD's people, especially when they are weak, weary and sick
Brawn - ) A muscle;

Flesh - The word
Flesh hath different meanings in Scripture. Hence the apostle to the Corinthians, chapter the fifteenth, and thirty-ninth verse, saith, "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. " And, hence, when the Lord determined the total destruction of the world, except the church preserved in the family of Noah, he said, "The end of all
Flesh is come before me. â"Hide not thyself from thine own
Flesh;" meaning, thine own nature. (
Isaiah 58:7)...
There is another and more endearing sense of the word
Flesh, when spoken of in Scripture in relation to the types and affinities of families. Thus in the instance of the sons of Jacob, when some were for killing Joseph, Judah restrained from the deed, saying, "What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? Let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our
Flesh. " (
Genesis 37:26-27) And there is yet a far more endearing sense in which the word
Flesh is used in Scripture, when spoken of in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ; the nearest of all types, and the tenderest of all brothers. "For we are members (saith the apostle) of his body, of his
Flesh, and of his bones. " (
Ephesians 5:30) But the term
Flesh hath also another sense, when by of opposition to the spirit, it is taken as a comprehensive expression of our whole corrupt and carnal nature by the fall. "I know (saith Paul,) that in me, that is, in my
Flesh, dwelleth no good thing. " (
Romans 5:18) And "elsewhere the same apostle saith, The
Flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the
Flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other, so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. " (
Galatians 5:17) And hence when by the gracious work of regeneration wrought in the heart by the sovereign power of God the Holy Ghost, believers are then said "to be not in the
Flesh, but in the Spirit, it so be that the Spirit of God dwell in them
Incarnation - (Latin: in, in; caro,
Flesh) ...
The word used to express the union of the Divine nature of the Son of God with human nature, in the Person of Jesus Christ. The Apostle, Saint John, says: "The Word was made
Flesh" (John 1). The Word is the Son of God; by
Flesh in Scripture is meant mankind, human nature, man, body and soul, as in Luke 3: "And all
Flesh shall see the salvation of God. " The Son of God assumed our
Flesh and dwelt among us like one of us in order to redeem us. The third versicle of the Angelus is: "The Word was made
Flesh, and dwelt among us
Fleshly - σαρκικός, 'belonging to the
Flesh:' applied to the fallen condition of man: to his wisdom, ...
2 Corinthians 1:12 ; and to his lusts. In
Romans 7:14 it is 'fleshly,' morally (the state of a new-born soul under bondage, doing the things he hates); in
Romans 15:27 it is 'fleshly' physically ; and in some passages it is the
Fleshly or carnal condition of the Christian as led of the
Flesh. In most of these passages some MSS read σάρκινος, 'fleshy. σάρξ, 'flesh:' in
Romans 8:7 ;
Colossians 2:18 it is 'mind of the
Flesh;' and in
Hebrews 9:10 it is 'ordinances of
Flesh. ' This Greek word is commonly translated 'flesh,' q

Flesh - The Old Testament employs two terms to denote
Flesh: basar [
Genesis 2:21 ;
Leviticus 13:10-11 ;
Ezekiel 37:6 ;
Daniel 1:15 ;
Micah 3:3 ) and animals alike (
Exodus 21:28 ), including animal
Flesh used for food (
Genesis 9:2-4 ) and in sacrifice (
1 Samuel 2:13 ;
Isaiah 65:4 ;
Hosea 8:13 ).
Flesh thus comes to denote blood-relationship (
Genesis 2:23-24 ;
in 6:51-63 ), and beyond that, kinship to all humans, "all
Flesh" (
Psalm 65:2 ;
Isaiah 40:5 ; 49:26 ). Yet another extension of significance is the use of
Flesh in reference to the human body as a whole (
Leviticus 13:13 ; 16:4 ;
2 Kings 6:30 ). While in such uses it can denote a corpse (
1 Samuel 17:44 ;
2 Kings 9:36 ), it more commonly denotes the whole life of the individual viewed from an external perspective so that safety of the
Flesh is life (
Psalm 16:9 ;
Proverbs 4:20-22 ) and its endangerment a threat to life (
Job 13:14 ;
Proverbs 5:11 ). It is an easy step from
Flesh as denoting life viewed externally to life viewed more comprehensively. "Flesh" is thus used interchangeably with "soul" and "body, " and credited with the emotions and responses of the whole person (
Psalm 63:1 ; 84:2 ). In short, the human creature is
Flesh in essence. Implicit in this is the idea that humans do not have
Flesh, but are
Flesh. If at times the outer being ("flesh") is distinguished from the inner ("heart" or "soul"), this is not because one is seen as more important than the other, but because both are indispensable for the existence of a whole person. As constituted essentially of
Flesh the human creature stands over against God. By virtue of being God's creation
Flesh is good, like all other parts of God's creation (
Job 10:8-12 ;
Psalm 119:73 ;
Isaiah 45:12 ). At the same time,
Flesh as dependent on God, and in particular God's spirit (
Genesis 2:7 ; 6:3 ;
Isaiah 31:3 ), is frail and transitory (
Psalm 78:39 ;
Isaiah 40:6 ). While at no time is
Flesh said to be sinful, it is implied that, by virtue of its frailty,
Flesh is exposed to the onslaught of sin (
Genesis 6:3,5,13 ). It is safe to say that all of the New Testament uses of
Flesh are made from these Old Testament building blocks. The Greek word used most commonly in the New Testament to render the Hebrew word for
Flesh (basar
) is sarx
, which occurs 147 times. In the Synoptic Gospels "flesh" is used only four times (aside from Old Testament quotations in
Mark 10:8 ; and
Luke 3:6 ). In
Matthew 16:17 "flesh and blood" stands for human beings in their wholeness, but especially in their mental and religious aspect.
Mark 13:20 is a typical use of the Old Testament expression "all
Flesh. In
Luke 24:39 the "flesh and bones" of the risen Jesus contrast with the immateriality of ghosts, implying a positive estimate of materiality that again harmonizes with the Old Testament. In Acts there are 3 instances of "flesh" (2:17,26, 31).
In 2:31 "flesh" clearly refers to Jesus in his wholeness, but with the important idea added that in his wholeness he survived death. The first two, however, use the term to make the significant point that it was "flesh"—true human naturethat Christ assumed in his incarnation. Jesus, through the spilling of his blood, opened the way into God's presence through the veil, which is interpreted as his
Flesh (10:20). Just as it was only when the curtain was torn open that access to the Most Holy Place was possible, so it was only by the tearing of Jesus'
Flesh in death that access to God's presence was made permanently available. Here, then,
Flesh stands for Jesus' life in its wholeness: incarnate and surrendered in death. The remaining concentration of instances of
Flesh in this grouping is found in the First Epistle of Peter, where there are examples (aside from the Old Testament quotation
in 1:24). First
Peter 3:21 echoes the same contrast found in Hebrews 9 between the cleansing of the
Flesh and the conscience. The remaining examples (3:18; 4:1,2, 6) contrast death in the
Flesh with life in the Spirit in reference both to Christ and the believer. The contrast throughout, then, is between "flesh" understood as earthly existence and "spirit" as life in the Spirit. The adjectival form sarkikos
, "fleshly, " occurs
at 2:11 and is probably best understood within the same frame of reference as the examples of the noun. The strictly literal sense is not found, but the extended sense, "all
Flesh, " occurs
at 17:2. In other examples the idea present is that of limitation, in which the
Flesh or the sphere of the
Flesh is contrasted with the divine sphere (1:13; 3:6). The
Flesh is not evil; it simply is not the sphere of salvation, which rather is that of the Spirit. Cognate with these uses, though advancing beyond them, are passages in which
Flesh denotes mere appearance rather than inner reality. The obverse of this is that
Flesh may indeed be the medium of the revelation of God himself. Therefore to feed on his
Flesh and blood is to share in his life (6:57-58). In the Epistles of John the accent falls on confession of Christ's coming in the
Flesh as decisive for salvation (
1 John 4:2 ; 2 John 7 ). "The desire of the
Flesh" (
1 John 2:16 ) is condemned not because it refers to the material realm, but because it refers to what is earthly and therefore transitory (v. The uniqueness of these in this regard is sufficiently indicated in that approximately two-thirds of the New Testament occurrences of
Flesh are found in them, almost half of these in Romans and Galatians. There
Flesh can denote the physical
Flesh (
1 Corinthians 15:39 ;
2 Corinthians 12:7 ) and, by extension, the human body (
Galatians 4:13-14 ), humanity as a whole (
Romans 3:20 ;
Galatians 2:16 ), human descent (
Romans 1:3 ; 9:3 ), and human relationships (
Romans 4:1 ; 9:3-5 ). This does not imply that
Flesh is evil per se: life "in the
Flesh" is normal human existence (
Galatians 2:20 ), but it is still merely human. The uniquely Pauline understanding begins from the idea that
Flesh, as weak, becomes the gateway to sin (
Romans 8:3 ;
2 Corinthians 12:7 ;
Galatians 4:14 ). The accompanying war Paul describes as a struggle between
Flesh and Spirit (
Romans 8:5-17 ;
Galatians 5:16-24 ). The seriousness of the struggle is indicated by the fact that the mind-set of the
Flesh leads to death (
Romans 8:6 ), and that those living in the
Flesh cannot please God (
Romans 8:8 ).
Flesh, however, is not intrinsically sinful, and may therefore be the scene of sin's defeat. This it became through Christ's coming and crucifixion in the
Flesh (
Romans 8:3 ). Those who identify themselves with him by faith likewise crucify the
Flesh (
Galatians 2:20 ; 5:24 ) so being emancipated from the power of sin in the
Flesh (
Romans 6:14 ; 8:9 )
Venison - ) Formerly, the

Flesh - "
Genesis 6:3, "for that lie also (even the race of godly Seth) (is become)

1 Corinthians 1:26, "wise after the
Flesh," i. Not the body, which is not in itself sinful; it was through thinking it so that Gnostic ascetics mortified it by austerities, while all the while their seeming neglecting of the body was pampering "the
Flesh" (
Colossians 2:21-23). "The
Flesh" is the natural man, including the unrenewed will and mind, moving in the world of self and sense only. ...
Self imposed ordinances gratify the
Flesh (i. "Trouble in the
Flesh" is in their outward state, namely, through the present distress (
1 Corinthians 7:28). So
John 6:63, "it is the Spirit that quickeneth; the
Flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and are life. " Not the outward
Flesh, but the word of Christ, is what gives life. " "To know Christ after the
Flesh" (
2 Corinthians 5:16) means to know Him in His mere outward worldly relations, with a view to "glorying" in them (
John 8:15;
Philippians 3:3-10); as Judaizing Christians prided themselves on the
Fleshly advantage of belonging to Israel, the nation of Christ, or on having seen Him in the
Flesh, as a ground of superiority over others (
2 Corinthians 11:18;
2 Corinthians 10:7). In
Romans 4:1, "what hath Abraham found, as pertaining to the
Flesh?" i. "All
Flesh," i

Flesh - Since
Flesh is an obvious feature of the human body, the word ‘flesh’ developed a figurative usage in relation to human life. Inevitably, ‘flesh’ developed new meanings in relation to certain spiritual characteristics that are shared by all people. ...
Physical life...
Among the expressions that use ‘flesh’ in relation to the physical nature of human beings are ‘flesh and blood’, ‘flesh and bone’ and ‘flesh and heart’. A man and a woman united in marriage become one
Flesh, and people related to each other share the same
Flesh (
Genesis 2:24;
Genesis 29:14;
Romans 1:3;
Romans 4:1;
Romans 9:3; see also BODY). ...
On account of the usage of ‘flesh’ in reference to the physical aspect of human life, the word is sometimes contrasted with ‘spirit’, that inner and higher aspect of human life (
Matthew 26:41;
2 Corinthians 7:1;
1 Peter 3:18; see SPIRIT). This physical life, however, has been corrupted through sin, and this gives ‘flesh’ its particular meaning in the writings of Paul. ...
Human nature (the
Flesh) is directed and controlled by sin, and rebels against God’s law. The evil results of the
Flesh affect every part of human life and activity (
Galatians 5:19-21; cf. By living in complete obedience to God’s law, dying for sin and rising victoriously from the dead, he condemned the
Flesh, so that people might no longer be enslaved by it (
Romans 8:3-4;
Hebrews 2:14-15;
Hebrews 4:15). But the
Flesh is not destroyed. ...
Therefore, there is a continual conflict in the lives of believers, the
Flesh fighting against the Spirit (
Romans 8:5;

Flesh," i. 4); having its seat in the animal nature, or excited by it,
1 Peter 2:11 , "fleshly," or as the equivalent of "human," with the added idea of weakness, figuratively of the weapons of spiritual warfare, "of the

Flesh - (σάρξ, κρέας)...
Of the two words rendered ‘flesh’ in the English Version of the NT, κρέας is found only twice (
Romans 14:21, 1 Corinthians 8:13), and in both cases applies to the
Flesh of slaughtered animals eaten as food. As the chief constituent of the body, and that which gives it its visible form, ‘flesh’ frequently indicates the whole body (
Galatians 4:13 f. Paul describes Jesus Christ as ‘born of the seed of David according to the
Flesh’ (
Romans 1:3), and refers to the Jewish people as ‘my kinsmen according to the
Flesh’ (
Romans 9:3), or even as ‘my
Flesh’ (
Romans 11:14). Similarly be calls Abraham ‘our forefather according to the
Flesh’ (
Romans 4:1), and the author of Heb. characterizes natural fathers as ‘the fathers of our
Flesh’ in contrast with God as ‘the Father of spirits’ (
Hebrews 12:9). Thus ‘flesh’ is combined or contrasted with ‘spirit’ (
Romans 2:28-29, 1 Corinthians 5:5, 1 Peter 3:18), as ‘body’ is with ‘soul’ (
Matthew 10:28) or ‘spirit’ (
1 Corinthians 6:20, James 2:26), apart from any idea of disparagement, and only by way of indicating the fact that man is a unity of matter and spirit, of a lower part which links him to the outer world of Nature and a higher part which brings him into relation with God, both of them being essential to the completeness of his personality (
1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 2 Corinthians 5:1-4). In many instances ‘flesh’ assumes a broader meaning, being employed to denote human nature generally, usually, however, with a suggestion of its creaturely frailty and weakness in contrast with God Himself, or His Spirit, or His word. ‘All
Flesh’ (
Acts 2:17, 1 Peter 1:24) is equivalent to all mankind; ‘no
Flesh’ (
Romans 3:20, 1 Corinthians 1:29, Galatians 2:16) has the force of ‘no mortal man. ’ Similar to this is the use of the fuller expression ‘flesh and blood,’ as when St. Paul says that he ‘conferred not with
Flesh and blood’ (
Galatians 1:16), and that ‘our wrestling is not against
Flesh and blood’ (
Ephesians 6:12). That this use of ‘flesh,’ although pointing to human weakness, is free from any idea of moral taint, is sufficiently shown by the fact that it is employed to describe the human nature of Christ Himself (
John 1:14, Romans 1:3;
Romans 9:5, 1 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 2:14) by writers who are absolutely convinced of His sinlessness (
John 8:46, 1 John 3:5, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 4:15;
Hebrews 7:26). we have a special use of ‘flesh’ to designate earthly existence-a use which must be distinguished from those that have been already dealt with. ‘In the days of his
Flesh’ (
Hebrews 5:7) does not mean in the days when He possessed a body, or in the days when He bore our human nature; for the author firmly believes in the continued and complete humanity of our heavenly High Priest (
Hebrews 4:14 f. Similarly, ‘through The veil, that is to say, his
Flesh’ (
Hebrews 10:20) points to His life in those same ‘days of his
Flesh’-the whole period of His suffering humanity; and when the writer describes the rites of the OT Law as ‘ordinances of
Flesh’ (δικαιώματα σαρκός, English Version ‘carnal ordinances,’
Hebrews 9:10) and contrasts these with the blood of Christ in respect of atoning efficacy, the antithesis in his mind, as the context shows, is not so much between the material and the spiritual as between the earthly and the heavenly, the passing and the permanent, the temporal and the eternal. In addition to the foregoing, which may all be characterized as natural meanings of ‘flesh,’ we find the word used by St. ‘fleshly’ or ‘carnal’ in contrast with ‘spiritual’ (
Romans 7:14, 1 Corinthians 3:1, etc. Pfleiderer and others have sought to explain this peculiar usage by supposing that in the Pauline anthropology there was a fundamental dualism between ‘flesh’ and ‘spirit,’ and that the Apostle saw in the physical or sensuous part of man the very source and principle of sin. Paul’s thoroughly Hebrew conception of the unity of body and soul in the human personality (see 4), and is expressly negatived by his teaching on such subjects as the sinlessness of Jesus (
2 Corinthians 5:21) and the sanctification of the body (
1 Corinthians 6:15;
1 Corinthians 6:19), and by his application of the epithet ‘carnal’ (
1 Corinthians 3:3) and of the expression ‘works of the
Flesh’ (
Galatians 5:19 ff. The most probable explanation of this Pauline antithesis of ‘flesh’ and ‘spirit’ is that it amounts to a contrast between the natural and the supernatural. Paul’s presentation of it comes in the case of fallen man through natural inheritance-all mankind descending from Adam ‘by ordinary generation’-and is therefore characterized as ‘flesh’; while the life of holiness, as a gift of the Divine Spirit, is described as ‘spirit’ with reference to its source. Paul’s Use of the Terms ‘Flesh’ and ‘Spirit,’ Glasgow, 1883; A
Flesh - It sometimes denotes the whole body considered as animated, as in
Matthew 26:41 , "The spirit is willing, but the
Flesh is weak. It sometimes means a human being, as in
Luke 3:6 , "All
Flesh shall see the salvation of God. Sometimes a person's kindred collectively considered, as in ...
Romans 11:14 , "If by any means I may provoke them which are my
Flesh. Sometimes any thing of an external or ceremonial nature, as opposed to that which is internal and moral, as in
Galatians 3:3 , "Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect in the
Flesh?"...
5. The sensitive part of our nature, or that which is the seat of appetite, as in
2 Corinthians 7:1 , "Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the
Flesh and spirit;" where there can be no doubt that the pollutions of the
Flesh must be those of the appetites, being opposed to the pollutions of the spirit, or those of the passions. Thus among the works of the
Flesh,
Galatians 5:19-21 , are numbered not only adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, drunkenness, and revellings, which all relate to criminal indulgence of appetite, but idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, and murders, which are manifestly vices of a different kind, and partake more of the diabolical nature than of the beastly

Leviticus 11:7 ; 14:8) the abhorrence which the Jews as a nation had of it may be inferred from (
Isaiah 65:4 ) and
2 Maccabees 6:18,19 . No other reason for the command to abstain from swine's
Flesh is given in the law of Moses beyond the general one which forbade any of the mammalia as food which did not literally fulfill the terms of the definition of a clean animal" viz,, that it was to be a cloven-footed ruminant. It is, however, probable that dietetical considerations may have influenced Moses in his prohibition of swine's
Flesh: it is generally believed that its use in hot countries is liable to induce cutaneous disorders; hence in a people liable to leprosy the necessity for the observance of a strict rule. Although the Jews did not breed swine during the greater period of their existence as a nation there can be little doubt that the heathen nations of Palestine used the
Flesh as food. At the time of our Lord's ministry it would appear that the Jews occasionally violated the law of Moses with regard to swine's

2 Corinthians 12:7 , “thorn in the
Flesh” refers more to the enemy, the “messenger of Satan,” than to any specific physical ailment. ” Thus Paul's entire apostolic experience of suffering (compare
2 Corinthians 1:3-11 ;
2 Corinthians 4:7-5:10 ;
2 Corinthians 6:1-10 ;
2 Corinthians 7:2-7 ;
2 Corinthians 11:16-33 ), abetted by Satan and operative through the evils of this world, was the “messenger of Satan,” a “thorn in the
Flesh,” which God gave and used to keep the great apostle humbly obedient

Flesh’ (
Romans 8:6-7) denotes, according to St. ‘fleshy’ and ‘fleshly. ), σάρκινος properly describes that which is composed of
Flesh. It is the more literal and grosser term, while σαρκικός has an abstract and ethical application as denoting the ‘fleshly’ or what pertains to the
Flesh. He calls the Corinthians σἀρκινοι (
1 Corinthians 3:1) because the
Flesh appeared to constitute their very nature; he says of himself in
Romans 7:14 ‘I am carnal’ (σἀρκινος), to show by this vivid expression the preponderance in his own case of that unspiritual nature which serves as the instrument of sin. The ‘carnal mind’ or ‘mind of the
Flesh’ is the mind which is not subject to the law of God (
Romans 8:7) because it has not received the Spirit of God (

2: πλησμονή (Strong's #4140 — Noun Feminine — plesmone — place-mon-ay' ) "a filling up, satiety" (akin to pimplemi, "to fill"), is translated "indulgence (of the
Flesh)" in
Colossians 2:23 , RV (AV, "satisfying"). Lightfoot translates the passage "yet not really of any value to remedy indulgence of the
Flesh. " Some regard it as indicating that the ascetic treatment of the body is not of any honor to the satisfaction of the
Flesh (the reasonable demands of the body): this interpretation is unlikely. The following paraphrase well presents the contrast between the asceticism which "practically treats the body as an enemy, and the Pauline view which treats it as a potential instrument of a righteous life:" ordinances, "which in fact have a specious look of wisdom (where there is no true wisdom), by the employment of self-chosen acts of religion and humility (and) by treating the body with brutality instead of treating it with due respect, with a view to meeting and providing against over-indulgence of the

Mind - Paul’s use of νοῦς and helping us to appreciate the distinctive meaning he attaches to the word, it is important to notice two contrasts in which he sets it, in the one case with ‘flesh’ (σάρξ) and in the other with ‘spirit’ (πνεῦμα). In
Romans 7:23;
Romans 7:25 he contrasts the mind with the
Flesh, i. And when in
Romans 8:6 the Apostle speaks of ‘the mind of the
Flesh’ (cf.
Colossians 2:18, ‘fleshly mind’), the suggestion is that man’s highest faculty has been debased to the service of what is lowest in his nature, so that the mind has itself become
Fleshly and sinful. The mind, as man’s highest natural faculty, thus stands between the
Flesh, as the lower and sinful principle in his nature, and the spirit, which is the distinctive principle of the Divinely given Christian life. And, as the mind may be dragged down by the
Flesh until it becomes a ‘mind of the
Flesh,’ so it may be upraised and informed by the spirit until it becomes a ‘mind of the spirit’ (
Romans 8:6; cf. See articles
Flesh, Soul, Spirit. For ‘carnally minded’ and ‘spiritually minded’ in
Romans 8:6 (τὸ φρόνημα τῆς σαρκός … τοῦ πνεύματος) should be substituted as in the Revised Version ‘the mind of the
Flesh,’ ‘the mind of the spirit

The pangs of strong desire for the presence of the Lord in glory, who among believers has not felt them? Who among us has not found our flight upward brought to a painful pause by the stern facts of

Swine - The Prophet
Isaiah 65:4 , charges his degenerate people with eating swine's
Flesh, and having broth of abominable things in their vessels,
Isaiah 66:3 . "They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens, behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's
Flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord,"
Isaiah 66:17 . Such a sacrifice was an abomination to the Lord, because the eating of the blood was prohibited, and because the sacrifice consisted of swine's
Flesh. To these precepts and threatenings, which were often enforced by severe judgments, may be traced the habitual and unconquerable aversion of the latter Jews to the use of swine's
Flesh; an aversion which the most alluring promises and the most cruel sufferings have been found alike insufficient to subdue. ...
In such detestation was the hog held by the Jews, that they would not so much as pronounce its name, but called it "the strange thing;" and we read in the history of the Maccabees, that Eleazer, a principal scribe, being compelled by Antiochus Epiphanes to open his mouth and receive swine's
Flesh, spit it forth, and went of his own accord to the torment, choosing rather to suffer death than to break the law of God, and give offence to his nation,

Wickedness, Spirits of - Lest the force of their spiritual attack from the "high places" be thought of too lightly, Saint Paul warns emphatically: "For our wrestling is not against
Flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places" (Ephesians 6)
Heredity - In the OT, which is the basis of the doctrine of the NT, there is no dogmatic purpose, and therefore no attempt to account for the fact that ‘all
Flesh’ has ‘corrupted his way upon the earth’ (
Genesis 6:12 ), and that ‘there is none that doeth good’ (
Psalms 14:1 ). Not a philosophical people, the Hebrews start from the obvious fact of the unity of the race in the possession of common
Flesh and blood (
Job 14:1 ;
Job 15:14 ), the son being begotten after the image of the father (
Genesis 5:3 ; cf. This is more especially emphasized in the unity of the race of Abraham, that ‘Israel after the
Flesh’ (
1 Corinthians 10:18 ), whose were the fathers and the promises (
Romans 9:4-5 ). This principle involves corporate guilt; which, though sometimes reduced to a pardonable weakness inseparable from
Flesh (
Psalms 78:39 ;
Psalms 103:14 ,
Job 10:9 ), and therefore suggestive of heredity, yet, as involving Divine wrath and punishment, cannot be regarded as a palliation of transgression (
Exodus 34:7 ,
Psalms 7:11 ,
Romans 1:18 ). Moreover, the unity of Israel is as much one of external status as of physical nature, of the inheritance of the firstborn no less than of community in
Flesh and blood (
Exodus 4:22 ; cf
Heath, - It stands therefore as a fit emblem of the man who "maketh
Flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord
Freshen - ) To make fresh; to separate, as water, from saline ingredients; to make less salt; as, to freshen water, fish, or

Flesh. “For the life of the
Flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul” (
Leviticus 17:11 ). ...
Flesh and Blood This phrase designates a human being . When Peter confessed that Jesus was the Messiah, Jesus told Peter, “Flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven” (
Matthew 16:1 ;
Matthew 16:1;17:1 ). When “flesh and blood” is used of Jesus, it designates His whole person: “He that eateth my
Flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me and I in him” (
John 6:56 ). The next verse shows that eating “blood and
Flesh” is powerful metaphorical language for sharing in the life that Jesus bestows—”so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me” (
John 6:57 ). ...
When Paul used the phrase “flesh and blood” in
1 Corinthians 15:50 , he referred to sinful human existence: “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. In
Galatians 1:16 , Paul used “flesh and blood” as a synonym for human beings with whom he did not consult after his conversion. ...
In
Ephesians 6:12 , Paul portrayed Christians in conflict—their wrestling is “not against
Flesh and blood” but with higher, demonic powers, “against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. ...
Finally, the phrase “flesh and blood” sometimes designates human nature apart from moral evil. Jesus, like other children of His people, was a partaker “of
Flesh and blood” (
Joel 2:28-32 ). They were not to eat the
Flesh with its life, that means the blood (
Genesis 9:4 ). The Spirit came upon Jew and Gentile (all
Flesh), sons and daughters, younger men and older men, and upon men-servants and maid-servants
New Birth - The origins of the term lie in
John 3:3 , “Except a man be born again”;
John 3:6 , “That which is born of the
Flesh is
Flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit”;
John 3:7 “Ye must be born again”; and
1 Peter 1:23 , “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever
Mortify - Extreme inflammation speedily mortifies
Flesh. ...
MOR'TIFY, To lose vital heat and action and suffer the dissolution of organic texture, as
Flesh to corrupt or gangrene
Thorns Thistles - Paul writes that he has been given a ‘stake for the
Flesh-the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. Paul elsewhere (
Romans 6:6;
Romans 8:13) recognizes the need for mortifying or crucifying the
Flesh, while in
1 Corinthians 5:5, as here, he alludes to Satan’s derived power for inflicting pain and suffering, a power which Satan, however, is impelled to use for the accomplishment of man’s ultimate salvation. Opinions differ as to the nature of the stake for the
Flesh here alluded to, but there can be no doubt that it was a bodily ailment (cf. Paul’s statement that he first visited Galatia on account of an infirmity in his
Flesh (
Galatians 4:13), or it may have been a form of epilepsy
Sedition - KJV used “seditions” in
Galatians 5:20 for one of the works of the
Flesh, but modern translations are more accurate in using “dissensions
Carnal -
Romans 7:14 (a) It refers to anything and everything that pertains to human

Kibroth-Hattaavah - The graves of lust, one of the encampments of Israel in the wilderness, where they desired of God
Flesh for their sustenance, declaring they were tired of manna,
Numbers 11:34,35 33:16
Blood -
Flesh and blood are placed in opposition to a superior nature: "Flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven,"...
Matthew 16:17 . They are also opposed to the glorified body; "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God,"
1 Corinthians 15:50 . They are opposed also to evil spirits: "We wrestle not against
Flesh and blood," against visible enemies composed of
Flesh and blood, "but against principalities and powers," &c,
Ephesians 6:12 . God expressly forbade the eating of blood alone, or of blood mixed with the
Flesh of animals, as when any creature was suffocated, or strangled, or killed without drawing its blood from the carcass. For when the grant of animal food was made to Noah, in those comprehensive words, "Even as the green herb have I given you all things," it was added, "but
Flesh with the life thereof, namely, its blood, ye shall not eat"
Genesis 9:4 . And when the law was given to the children of Israel, we find the prohibition against the eating of blood still more explicitly enforced, both upon Jews and Gentiles, in the following words, "Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people: for the life of the
Flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul,"...
Leviticus 17:10-11 . And to cut off all possibility of mistake upon this particular point, it is added: "Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood; and whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof and cover it with dust, for it is the life of all
Flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof; therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of
Flesh: for the life of all
Flesh is the blood thereof; whosoever eateth it shall be cut off,"
Leviticus 17:12-14 . Now, by turning to the original prohibition in Genesis, we find that precisely the same reason is given: "But the
Flesh with the blood, which is the life thereof, shall ye not eat
Mortification - (Latin: mortificare, to cause death) ...
A practise of Christian asceticism the purpose of which is twofold: negatively, to cause death to sin, to overcome the desires of the
Flesh, to conquer evil habits; positively, through penances, hardships, austerities and continued good actions, so to strengthen the will that a man may pursue a desired object despite difficulties

I will only add, for the comfort and encouragement of the Lord's timid and tried ones, who, in the midst of strong faith, feel at times much natural fear, that it is sweetly accommodating to consider the Lord Jesus Christ, in the days of his
Flesh, was graciously pleased in this, as in all other points of grace, to be our example. And in the days of his
Flesh he 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. " (
Hebrews 5:7-8) Sweet and precious thought! Jesus who knew no sin, yet coming to us in the likeness of sinful

Isaiah 1:18). Not the blood but the "ashes" were what purified the
Flesh; the blood-sprinkling before the tabernacle indicated a connection with atonement. The meaning of the rite is divinely declared in
Hebrews 9:13, "if the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean sanctifieth to the purifying of the
Flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"

Requirement - Apart from regeneration, we all stand condemned by the Law as sinners (
Romans 3:23 ; 7:9 ), and in the "flesh" are in bondage to sin, unable to obey God's Law (
Romans 7:17 ). However, God through Christ's atoning death "condemned sin in the
Flesh, " that is, set us free from the Law's condemnation by Christ's taking upon his own
Flesh the death penalty that the Law required for us sinners, in order that the "requirement (dikaioma [
Romans 8:2-4 )

Flesh is meat indeed, and his blood drink indeed. " (
Revelation 13:8) In his manifestation to Israel in the days of his
Flesh, his humiliation unto death, and his exaltation to glory, still is he the Lamb of God, and the Lamb in the midst of the throne, the Christ of God, and the salvation of God to every one that believeth

Flesh-meat is allowed at the principal meal on ember Saturdays, outside of Lent, and on vigils which immediately precede or follow a Friday or other day of abstinence
Spirit Spiritual - The Apostle’s doctrine of salvation, with its antithesis between sin and grace, leads him to recognize an opposition between
Flesh and spirit which is much more than the natural contrast between spirit and body (
Romans 8:1-13). ‘Flesh’ (q.
Romans 8:3, ‘sinful
Flesh,’ lit. ]'>[3] ‘flesh of sin’), in contrast with which ‘spirit’ stands for the Christian’s new or regenerate nature, in which the Spirit of God dwells (
Romans 8:9) in such a way as to bring deliverance from the law of sin and of death (
Romans 8:2). ‘Soul’ in the OT stands for the natural life regarded from the point of view of its separate individuality (
Genesis 2:7;
Genesis 17:14), while ‘spirit’ is the principle of life considered as flowing from God Himself (
Job 27:3, Psalms 51:10, Ecclesiastes 12:7), who is thus fitly called the God of the spirits of all
Flesh (
Numbers 16:22;
Numbers 27:16). Paul’s Use of the Terms
Flesh and Spirit, 1883
Marriage - Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones, and
Flesh of my
Flesh: she shall be called Woman (isha ), because she was taken out of Man (ish ). Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one
Flesh. This declaration of union was confirmed by the Lord, who, in quoting the above, added, "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one
Flesh. It is confirmed also by being taken as a type of the sacred union of the Lord with the church: "We are members of his body, of his
Flesh and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one
Flesh
Diet - Food or victuals as, milk is a wholesome diet

Romans 8:3 , "God, sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful
Flesh," lit. , "flesh of sin," the
Flesh stands for the body, the instrument of indwelling "sin"
, and as an offering for sin," i. , in
Leviticus 4:32 ; 5:6-9 ), "condemned sin in the
Flesh," i. , as a result of suffering in the
Flesh, the mortifying of our members, and of obedience to a Savior who suffered in
Flesh. Such no longer lives in the
Flesh, "to the lusts of men, but to the will of God;" sometimes the word is used as virtually equivalent to a condition of "sin," e

Luke 24:39 the unique expression seems to emphasize the nature of the Resurrection body, as different from the ordinary ‘flesh and blood
Life: the Hidden - Fit emblem of the believer's inner life; men hear our notes of outward sorrow wrung from us by external circumstances, but the message of celestial peace, the divine communings with a better land, the swift heart-throbs of heaven-born desire, they cannot perceive: the carnal see but the outer manhood, but the life hidden with Christ in God,

Flesh, and drinketh my: blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day
Infant Baptism - ...
Baptists and other adherents of believer's baptism raise the following arguments and counter-arguments: (1) The New Testament prerequisite of baptism is faith (
Acts 18:8 ) which is evidenced by confession (
Romans 10:9-10 ) and repentance (
Acts 2:38 ); (2) infant baptism rests ultimately on the fear that infants are held accountable for organic sin; Baptists counter with a doctrine of an age of accountability at which conscious sin occurs (
Genesis 8:21 ;
Psalm 25:7 ;
Jeremiah 3:25 ) and at which a conscious response to God is possible (
1 Kings 18:12 ;
Psalm 71:5 ,
Psalms 71:5,71:17 ); (3) household baptisms need not have included children; baptism is prefigured in the salvation of Noah and his exclusively adult household in the ark (
1 Peter 3:20-21 ); (4) Jesus' blessing of the children demonstrates Christ's love for children; children are presented as an example to disciples rather than as disciples themselves (
Matthew 18:2-4 ); (5) circumcision is an imperfect analogy to baptism; only males participated in circumcision, whereas in baptism there is “neither male nor female” (
Galatians 3:28 ); the witness of the New Testament is that “what is born of the
Flesh is
Flesh” and that a spiritual birth is necessary to enter God's kingdom (
John 3:5-6 ); it is not the Israel of the
Flesh that inherits the promises of God but those who are spiritual Israel by a faith commitment (Romans 6-8 ;
Galatians 6:16 ); (6) the responsibility of the faith community to its children is instruction in the way of the Lord (
Deuteronomy 4:9-10 ;
Deuteronomy 11:19 ;
Proverbs 22:6 ); participation in covenant renewal is educational for children
Malchus - 'There were but two swords in the disciples' hands (
Luke 22:38); while the holder of one was waiting for Christ's reply to their question, "Lord, shall we smite with the sword?" the holder of the other, Peter, in the same spirit as in
Matthew 16:22, smote with the weapon of the
Flesh. The healing by a "touch" implies that the ear hung to its place by a small portion of
Flesh. The hands so often put forth to bless and to cure were thenceforth bound and stretched on the cross, that form of His ministry in the
Flesh ceasing forever
Unclean Meats - These were things strangled, or dead of themselves or through beasts or birds of prey; whatever beast did not both part the hoof and chew the cud; and certain other smaller animals rated as "creeping things;" certain classes of birds mentioned in Levi 11 and Deuteronomy 14 twenty or twenty-one in all; whatever in the waters had not both fins and scales whatever winged insect had not besides four legs the two hindlegs for leaping; Besides things offered in sacrifice to idols; and ail blood or whatever contained it (save perhaps the blood of fish, as would appear from that only of beast and bird being forbidden,) (
Leviticus 7:26 ) and therefore
Flesh cut from the live animal; as also all fat, at any rate that disposed in masses among the intestines, and probably wherever discernible end separable among the
Flesh. " (
Leviticus 17:10 ; 12:14 ) As regards blood, the prohibition indeed dates from the declaration to Noah against "flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof" in (
Genesis 9:4 ) which was perhaps by Moses as still binding upon all Noah's descendants
Blood -
Fleshly nature the carnal part of man as opposed to spiritual nature,or divine life. Who were born, not of
Flesh and blood, nor of the will of the
Flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee,but my Father who is in heaven
Rainbow - And I will remember my covenant which is between me and you, and every living creature of all

Flesh that is upon the, earth

Joannes ii, Mercurius, Bishop of Rome - Pope Hormisdas had in 522 written in strong condemnation of certain Scythian monks who had upheld the statement that "one of the Trinity" (Unus ex Trinitate ) "suffered in the
Flesh. ), and now the Acoemetae , or "Sleepless Monks," of Constantinople argued from it in favour of the Nestorian position that Mary was not truly and properly the mother of God; saying with reason that, if He Who suffered in the
Flesh was not of the Trinity, neither was He Who was born in the
Flesh. Its words are, "The sufferings, as well as miracles, which Christ of His own accord endured in the
Flesh are of one and the same
Fasting - This significant term implies that the essence of scriptural "fasting" lies in self humiliation and penitence, and that the precise mode of subduing the
Flesh to the spirit, and of expressing sorrow for sin, is left to the conscientious discretion of each person. "...
But God, while not discountenancing outward acts of sorrow expressive of inward penitence, declares, "is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal the bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest thy naked that thou cover him, and that thou hide not thyself from thine own
Flesh?" (
Isaiah 58:4-7. "I ate unleavened bread, even the bread of affliction" (
Deuteronomy 16:3), "neither came
Flesh nor wine in my mouth. The "neglecting (not sparing) of the body," while seeming to deny self, really tends "to the satisfying of (satiating to repletion) the
Flesh. " Ordinances of "will worship" gratify the
Flesh (self) while seeming to mortify it; for "self crowned with thorns in the cloister is as selfish as self crowned with ivy in the revel" (
Colossians 2:18-23). Christ, the true Israel, denied Himself for 40 days, as Israel indulged the
Flesh 40 years
Dream, Dreamer - ) which means "shall be given up to dream by dreams," translated "shall dream dreams;" metaphorically in
Jude 1:8 , of being given over to sensuous "dreamings," RV, AV, "dreamers," and so defiling the
Flesh
Poison - " In
Job 6:4 allusion is made to poisoned arrows, symbolizing the burning pains which penetrated into Job's inmost parts ("spirit" as contrasted with surface
Flesh wounds of his body)
Leucopetrians - The name of a fanatical sect which sprang up in the Greek and eastern churches towards the close of the twelfth century: they professed to believe in a double trinity, rejected wedlock, abstained from
Flesh, treated with the utmost contempt the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's supper, and all the various branches of external worship: placed the essence of religion in internal prayer alone; and maintained, as it is said, that an evil being or genius dwelt in the breast of every mortal, and could be expelled from thence by no other method than by perpetual supplication to the Supreme Being
Tapeworm - The larvae (see Cysticercus) live in the
Flesh of various creatures, and when swallowed by another animal of the right species develop into the mature tapeworm in its intestine
Japheth - And as from Shem, after the
Flesh, sprung Christ; so Japheth, who is supposed to be the father of the Gentiles, and as such, in this prophecy, may be supposed to represent the whole body of the Gentile church given to the Lord Jesus Christ, could only be brought into Christ's fold by Christ's power
Sin, Desert of - And here again they murmured for "the bread and the
Flesh-pots of Egypt
Scald - ) A burn, or injury to the skin or
Flesh, by some hot liquid, or by steam
Rainbow, - the token of the covenant which God made with Noah when he came forth from the ark that the waters should no more become a flood to destroy all
Flesh
Body - Of the thirteen words which refer to the animal or human body, the most frequent is basar , “flesh. For example, in
Psalm 119:20 , “my
Flesh” means “I. ” This can also occur in a collective sense as in
Ezekiel 11:19 , where “their
Flesh” means “they. ) Reference to a person as “flesh” points to the earthly, passing, and decaying nature (
Job 10:4 ). Thus “flesh (and bone)” designates kinship (
Genesis 2:23 ;
Genesis 29:14 ;
Genesis 37:27 ;
Leviticus 18:6 ) and fellow human beings in general (
Isaiah 58:7 ). ...
“All
Flesh” refers to the entire human race (
Isaiah 40:5-6 ;
John 17:2 ), or even all living creatures (
Genesis 6:17 ;
Psalm 136:25 ), since through material bodily existence the human being is tied even with the animal world (
Genesis 6:19 ). Finally, “flesh” can mean simply “human being” (
Leviticus 13:18 ,
Leviticus 13:18,13:24 ;
Psalm 56:5 ). Physical existence as
Flesh withers away under God's judgment (
Isaiah 40:6-7 ), but survives through His grace (
Genesis 9:11-17 ;
Psalm 78:38-39 ). It means, instead, the total transformation of “flesh and blood” into a “spiritual body,” that is a personality created and formed anew by God's Spirit
Live - ...
In a related nuance chay describes
Flesh (animal meat or human
Flesh) under the skin, or “raw
Flesh. 13:10 one reads that leprosy involved seeing quick (alive), raw (chay)
Flesh: “And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw
Flesh in the rising. …” The same words (bashar chay) are applied to dead, raw (skinned) animal
Flesh: “Give
Flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have
Flesh of thee, but raw” (
Divorce - Polygamy had violated God's primal law joining in one
Flesh one man to one woman, who formed the other half or converse side of the male. Adulterous connection with a third party makes the person one
Flesh with that other, and so, ipso facto dissolves the unity of
Flesh with the original consort (
1 Corinthians 6:15-16)
Flesh - No action of the person (the
Flesh) can give eternal life to a lost man. It remains "flesh" until it dies, or until the Lord returns in person to change our bodies. Their

Flesh
Wheat - ) In Leviticus 2, directions are given for oblations, which in our translation are called meat-offerings; but as meat means
Flesh, and all kinds of offerings there specified, were made of wheat, it had been better to render it "wheaten offerings
Ossifrage - It well deserves its name ossifrage, bone breaker , for "not only does he push kids and lambs and even men off the rocks, but he takes the bones of animals that other birds of prey have denuded of the
Flesh high up into the air and lets them fall upon a stone in order to crack them and render them more digestible even for his enormous powers of deglutition
Also - , the RV rightly has "are we also blind?" instead of "are we blind also?" In
Acts 2:26 the RV has "moreover My
Flesh also," instead of "moreover also
Food - Now it is given accompanied by a prohibition against eating
Flesh with the blood, which is the life, left in it. The cutting of
Flesh, with the blood, from the living animal (as has been practiced in Africa), and the eating of blood either apart from or in the
Flesh, were prohibited, because "the soul (nephesh ) of the
Flesh is in the blood, and I (Jehovah) have ordained it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls; for it is the blood which makes atonement by means of the soul" (
Leviticus 17:11-12). ) Christians were directed to abstain also from animal
Flesh of which a part had been offered to idols (
Acts 15:29;
Acts 21:25;
Acts 21:1 Corinthians 8).
Flesh meat was brought forth on special occasions, as sacrificial and hospitable feasts (
Genesis 18:7;
Genesis 43:16;
Exodus 16:3;
Numbers 11:4-5;
1 Kings 1:9;
1 Kings 4:23;
Matthew 22:4). Sour wine ("vinegar") was used to dip the bread in; or else the gravy, broth, or melted fat of
Flesh meat; this illustrates the "dipping the sop in the common dish" (
John 13:26, etc
Carnal - Anything related to the
Fleshly or worldly appetites and desires rather than to the godly and spiritual desires. People walk either in the
Flesh or in the Spirit, leading to death or to life. Jesus Christ in human
Flesh overcame the condemnation of the
Fleshly way to offer the free life of the Spirit's way. Paul said that Gentiles had received the spiritual gospel through the Jews and should thus minister to the
Fleshly or material needs of the Jews (
Romans 15:27 ). Priests had always served on the basis of commandments written to meet
Fleshly needs. In
Hebrews 9:10 the writer of Hebrews made clear the
Fleshly nature of the law. ...
Using the same Greek word (sarkikos ), Peter issued a battle cry against “fleshly lusts” so that glory would go to God and people would be attracted to His way of life (
1 Peter 2:11 )
Bone - The bones of an animal support all the softer parts, as the
Flesh and vessels. ...
BONE, To take out bones from the
Flesh, as in cookery
Harlot - Strange, indeed, to our view, are all the ways and works of God! But it is not more marvellous that Christ, after the
Flesh, should spring from Rahab, than from Thamar by Judah. But certain it is, that both, after the
Flesh, were in the genealogy of the Lord of life and glory, how strange soever it appears to us
Another - ...
They are not interchangeable in 1618399886_84 ; here heteros is used to distinguish the heavenly glory from the earthly, for these differ in genus, and allos to distinguish the
Flesh of men, birds, and fishes, which in each case is
Flesh differing not in genus but in species
Temperance - In
Galatians 5:23 , ‘self-control’ closes the list of the graces which are all ‘the fruit of the Spirit,’ just as ‘drunkenness and revellings’ close the list of ‘the works of the
Flesh’ (
Galatians 5:21 ). The
Flesh and the Spirit! these, indeed, are ‘contrary the one to the other’ (
Galatians 5:17 ). The
Flesh triumphs when the Spirit is quenched; but the Spirit’s victory is gained, not by suppressing, but by controlling, the
Flesh
Psychology - This being recognized, the old dispute, whether it teaches the bipartite or the tripartite nature of man, loses its meaning, for the distinction of soul and spirit is not a division of man into soul and spirit along with his body or
Flesh, but a difference of point of view the one emphasizing man’s individual existence, the other his dependence on God. The OT has not, in fact, a term for the body as a whole; the matter to which the spirit gives life is often referred to as
Flesh. Man is ‘flesh,’ or ‘soul,’ or ‘spirit,’ according to the aspect of his personality it is desired to emphasize. It must be observed that in poetic parallelisms ‘soul,’ ‘spirit,’ ‘heart’ are often used as synonymous, in contrast to ‘flesh’ (
Psalms 63:1 ;
Psalms 84:2 ,
Ecclesiastes 11:10 ;
Ecclesiastes 12:7 ,
Ezekiel 44:7 ;
Ezekiel 44:9 )
Spirit - ,
2 Peter 2:5 , when they were in the
Flesh. Christ, appearing to his disciples, said to them,
Luke 24:39 , "Handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not
Flesh and bones, as ye see me have. Spirit is thus the opposite of
Flesh,

Flesh, with its affections and lusts,"
Galatians 5:16-25

Flesh of an animal, or in the substance of any creature or living thing; a cut, stab, rent, or the like
Birthright - In the history of the nation God occassionally set aside the "birthright," to show that the objects of His choice depended not on the will of the
Flesh, but on His own authority
Ossifrage - " The name peres, by which it is called in Hebrew, denotes "to crush, to break;" and this name agrees with our version, which implies "the bone-breaker," which name is given to a kind of eagle, from the circumstance of its habit of breaking the bones of its prey, after it has eaten the
Flesh: some say also, that he even swallows the bones thus broken

Idolatry - In
Romans 1:22-25 , "idolatry," the sin of the mind against God (
Ephesians 2:3 ), and immorality, sins of the
Flesh, are associated, and are traced to lack of the acknowledgment of God and of gratitude to Him
Adam - Thereafter the Lord caused a deep sleep to fall upon him, and while in an unconscious state took one of his ribs, and closed up his
Flesh again; and of this rib he made a woman, whom he presented to him when he awoke. Adam received her as his wife, and said, "This is now bone of my bones, and
Flesh of my
Flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man
Quails - God "rained
Flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea" (
Psalm 78:27 )
Show - ...
2: εὐπροσωπέω (Strong's #2146 — Verb — euprosopeo — yoo-pros-o-peh'-o ) denotes "to look well, make a fair show" (eu, "well," prosopon, "a face"), and is used in

2 Corinthians 9:6,10 (see above); of "sowing" to the
Flesh,
Galatians 6:7,8 ("that" in ver
Concord - This book contains, in two parts, a system of doctrine, the subscription of which was a condition of communion, and a formal and very severe condemnation of all who differed from the compilers of it; particularly with respect to the majesty and omnipresence of Christ's body, and the real manducation of his
Flesh and blood in the Eucharist
Lust - Thou mayest kill and eat
Flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after
Beast - ...
2 Peter 2:12 (b) The animal here is typical of ungodly men who live lustful,
Fleshly lives. They are not interested in cultivating the refining, ennobling things of life, but seek to gratify the lusts of the
Flesh
Ulai - (
Daniel 8:16) When we consider what is said of the voice of the Lord God, walking in the garden in the cool of the day,
Genesis 3:8; when we mark the same grace manifested upon many occasions during the Old Testament dispensation,
1 Samuel 3:4;
1 Kings 19:9; and when we call to mind, the numberless sweet and gracious tokens of the Lord Jesus, manifested to his servants in the early ages, before he openly tabernacled in substance of our
Flesh: may we not venture to suppose this voice to have been Him, who in after ages openly tabernacled among us? I only humbly propose the question
Messenger - 1: ἄγγελος (Strong's #32 — Noun Masculine — angelos — ang'-el-os ) "a messenger, an angel, one sent," is translated "messenger," of John the Baptist,

Joachimites - under the Father, men lived according to the
Flesh; under the Son, they lived according to the
Flesh and the spirit; and under the Holy Ghost, they were to live according to the spirit only
Fish - Boothroyd, in the note upon
Numbers 11:4 , says, "I am inclined to think that the word בשד , here rendered
Flesh, denotes only the
Flesh of fish, as it certainly does in
Leviticus 11:11 ; and indeed the next verse seems to support this explication: ‘We remember how freely we ate fish. ' It was then, particularly, the
Flesh of fish, for which they longed, which was more relishing than either the beef or mutton of those regions, which, unless when young, is dry and unpalatable
Lust - They are equally the "lusts" of the
Flesh,
Romans 13:14 ;
Galatians 5:16,24 ;
Ephesians 2:3 ;
2 Peter 2:18 ;
1 John 2:16 , a phrase which describes the emotions of the soul, the natural tendency towards things evil. ...
Other descriptions besides those already mentioned are: "of the mind,"
Ephesians 2:3 ; "evil (desire),"
Colossians 3:5 ; "the passion of,"

2 Peter 2:10 ; "of the eyes,"
1 John 2:16 ; of the world ("thereof"),
1 John 2:17 ; "their own ungodly,"
Jude 1:18 . 1, has the same twofold meaning as the noun, namely (a) "to desire," used of the Holy Spirit against the
Flesh,
Galatians 5:17 (see below); of the Lord Jesus,
Luke 22:15 , "I have desired;" of the holy angels,
1 Peter 1:12 ; of good men, for good things,

Acts 20:23 ;
Romans 7:7 ; 13:9 . ...
Notes: (1) In
Galatians 5:17 , in the statement, "the
Flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
Flesh," the Holy Spirit is intended, as in the preceding verse
Supper - But out of it grows another picture of very different hue: (b)
Revelation 19:17-18, ‘And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid heaven, Come and be gathered together unto the great supper of God; 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 thereon, and the
Flesh of all men, both free and bond, and small and great. The symbolism here, which seems to us crude and ghastly, is based on
Ezekiel 39:17-18, ‘Speak unto the birds of every sort, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice … upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat
Flesh and drink blood,’ etc
Hagar - Pauline interpretation (Galatians) relates the superiority of a son born according to the Spirit over the son born according to the “flesh
Sorcery - ) primarily signified "the use of medicine, drugs, spells;" then, "poisoning;" then, "sorcery,"
Galatians 5:20 , RV, "sorcery" (AV, "witchcraft"), mentioned as one of "the works of the
Flesh
Activity: a Help to Courage - Second thoughts come up timorously and limpingly, and incite us to make provision for the
Flesh, they are like those men whom Gideon discarded because they went down on their knees to drink, they took things too leisurely to be fit for the Lord's battles
Shams - One smiles at the busy tradesman arranging the shams in his window, but we are indignant with men who exhibit unreal virtues and excellences; he thinks that he makes a fair show in the
Flesh, but when we have found him out once, even what may be genuine in him is subjected to suspicion, and the man's honour is hopelessly gone

Flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called

Booz - Salmon, who was of the tribe of Judah, married her, and she bore him Booz, one of our Saviour's ancestors according to the

John 6:32-58
Tabernacle - TAB'ERNACLE, To dwell to reside for a time to be housed as we say, Christ tabernacled in the
Flesh
Pelican - The
Flesh of the pelican was forbidden to the Jews
Mortal, Mortality - 1: θνητός (Strong's #2349 — Adjective — thnetos — thnay-tos' ) "subject or liable to death, mortal" (akin to thnesko, "to die"), occurs in
Romans 6:12 , of the body, where it is called "mortal," not simply because it is liable to death, but because it is the organ in and through which death carries on its death-producing activities; in
Romans 8:11 , the stress is on the liability to death, and the quickening is not reinvigoration but the impartation of life at the time of the Rapture, as in
1 Corinthians 15:53,54 ;
2 Corinthians 5:4 (RV, "what is mortal;" AV, "mortality"); in
2 Corinthians 4:11 , it is applied to the
Flesh, which stands, not simply for the body, but the body as that which consists of the element of decay, and is thereby death-doomed
Goat - Its
Flesh was a delicacy among the Hebrews (
Genesis 27:9,14,17 ;
Judges 6:19 ). They had an important place in their rural economy on account of the milk they afforded and the excellency of the
Flesh of the kid
Food - ’...
The ordinary food in Christ’s day consisted chiefly of
Flesh, cereals, fruits, and herbs. Of
Flesh, that of sheep, oxen, kids, birds (
Matthew 12:12;
Matthew 25:32, Luke 13:15, Matthew 10:29), as well as fish (
Matthew 7:10, Luke 24:42, John 6:9;
John 21:13) was in common use
Abstinence - Doddridge observes, "that though neither things sacrificed to idols, nor the
Flesh of strangled animals, nor blood, have or can have any moral evil in them, which should make the eating of them absolutely and universally unlawful; yet they were forbidden to the Gentile converts, because the Jews had such an aversion to them, that they could not converse freely with any who used them. ...
In England, abstinence from
Flesh has been enjoined by statute, even since the reformation; particularly on Fridays and Saturdays, on vigils and on all days commonly called fish days
Sheep - Its fleece, its skin, its
Flesh, its tallow, and even its horns and bowels are articles of great utility to human life and happiness. The prohibition of eating fat, that is of fat unmixed with the
Flesh, the omentum or caul, is given also,
Leviticus 7:23
Thorn, Thorns - , in
Numbers 33:55 ;
Ezekiel 28:24 ;
Hosea 2:6 ),
2 Corinthians 12:7 , of the Apostle's "thorn in the
Flesh;" his language indicates that it was physical, painful, humiliating; it was also the effect of Divinely permitted Satanic antagonism; the verbs rendered "that I should (not) be exalted overmuch" (RV) and "to buffet" are in the present tense, signifying recurrent action, indicating a constantly repeated attack. Lightfoot interprets it as "a stake driven through the
Flesh," and Ramsay agrees with this
Hate, Hateful, Hater, Hatred - , "hated," or "having been hated;" (b) of a right feeling of aversion from what is evil; said of wrongdoing,
Romans 7:15 ; iniquity,
Hebrews 1:9 ; "the garment (figurative) spotted by the
Flesh,"
Jude 1:23 ; "the works of the Nicolaitans,"
Revelation 2:6 (and ver. ; see the AV); (c) of relative preference for one thing over another, by way of expressing either aversion from, or disregard for, the claims of one person or thing relatively to those of another,
Matthew 6:24 ; and
Luke 16:13 , as to the impossibility of serving two masters;
Luke 14:26 , as to the claims of parents relatively to those of Christ;
John 12:25 , of disregard for one's life relatively to the claims of Christ;
Ephesians 5:29 , negatively, of one's
Flesh, i
Eve - Formed from "one of Adam's ribs," taken by God from Adam in a deep sleep; type of the church formed from the opened side of her Heavenly Bridegroom (from whence flowed blood and water) in the death sleep, so as by faith in His atoning blood, and by the cleansing water of His Holy Spirit, to be "bone of His bone, and
Flesh of His
Flesh" (
Ephesians 5:25-32;
1 John 5:6). Her finer susceptibilities and more delicate organization are implied by her being formed, not out of dust as Adam, but of
Flesh already formed. The oneness of
Flesh is the foundation of the inseparable marriage union of one man with one woman (
Malachi 2:15;
Matthew 19:5)
Man From Heaven - Jesus tells Nicodemus, for example, not only that he is from heaven but that those who wish to see the "kingdom of God" must be born from above by water and Spirit (3:5) because "flesh gives birth to
Flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit" (v. The reason that this is necessary, says Paul, is that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God" (v
Hate - And wherefore doth a child of God loathe his own
Flesh, but because that
Flesh is always rising up in rebellion against the Spirit. Hence, therefore, if my own body becomes a rebel, and an enemy to my own soul, so that I cannot do the things I would, certainly I hate it; and if I hate my own
Flesh, from the opposition it is continually making to a life of grace, in the same sense, and upon the same account, I must, and do hate all the opposers of the divine life, be they who they may, or what they may
Circumcision - In
Jeremiah 9:25, "I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised: Egypt, and Judah, and Edom," two classes seem distinguished: Israel circumcised in
Flesh, but uncircumcised in heart; and the Gentile nations uncircumcised both in
Flesh and heart. Its significance is, the cutting the outside
Flesh of the organ of generation denotes corruption as inherent in us from birth, and transmitted by our parents, and symbolizes our severance from nature's defilement to a state of consecrated fellowship with God. ...
"Uncircumcised" is used of the lips (
Exodus 6:12;
Exodus 6:20), the ears (
Jeremiah 4:4;
Jeremiah 6:10), the heart (
Leviticus 26:41;
Deuteronomy 10:16;
Acts 7:51), in the sense closed by the foreskin of inborn
Fleshliness; impure, rebellious (
Deuteronomy 30:6;
Isaiah 52:1). Christians "are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands in putting off the body (not merely the foreskins, as in literal circumcision) of the sins of the
Flesh (i. the whole old
Fleshly nature with its sins) by the circumcision of Christ" (
Colossians 2:11;
Romans 2:28-29). He calls its practisers "the concision," in contrast to the true circumcision (
Philippians 3:2-3), a mere
Flesh cutting
Dualism - John (
John 1:1 ;
John 1:14 ) meets this Greek thought of his environment by asserting that Christ is the Word who is with God and is God, and who has become
Flesh. Paul’s doctrine of the
Flesh , and Pfleiderer also holds this position. Paul, starting from the common Hebraic notion of
Flesh ( sarx ), ‘according to which it signifies material substance, which is void indeed of the spirit, but not contrary to it, which is certainly weak and perishable, and so far unclean, but not positively evil,’ advances to the conception of the
Flesh as ‘an agency opposed to the spirit,’ having ‘an active tendency towards death.
Flesh
Blood - ...
The life of the
Flesh...
Blood has this special significance because ‘the life of the
Flesh is in the blood’ (
Genesis 9:4;
Leviticus 17:11;
Deuteronomy 12:23). God allowed the
Flesh of animals to be a source of food for human beings, but in the law he set out for Israel, those who took an animal’s life had to acknowledge God as the rightful owner of that life. ...
The blood of Christ...
Human beings live in a body of
Flesh that is kept alive by the blood that circulates through it. Therefore, when Jesus became a human being he took upon himself the nature of ‘flesh and blood’ (
Hebrews 2:14;
Hebrews 5:7; cf

Fame - All the passages under this heading relate to the testimony concerning Christ in the days of His
Flesh

Incarnation, the - A Latinized name for the act by which the SecondPerson of the Blessed Trinity, God's Only Son, the Eternal "Wordwas made
Flesh," i
Flood - The scripture account of It says, "And I, behold, I do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all
Flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; every thing that is in the earth shall die. It is well to bear in mind that God has said, "I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all
Flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth
Galatians, Epistle to the - Having begun in the Spirit, were they now to be made perfect by the
Flesh ? Faith was the principle on which Abraham, the head of promise and blessing, was reckoned righteous, and on which the Gentiles would, with believing Abraham, receive blessing, according to God's promise to him. Were the Gentile believers (formerly in heathen darkness, but now knowing God) going to turn back to the principles of law, which the apostle does not hesitate to call weak and beggarly elements? They observed days, and months, and times, and years, as though Christianity were a system for man in the
Flesh. The scandal of the cross was done away if circumcision was preached, for it was rehabilitating the
Flesh. The
Flesh and Spirit were in fact utterly opposed, but if led by the Spirit they were not under law. The works of the
Flesh are set forth in contrast to the fruit of the Spirit. Those that were of Christ had crucified the
Flesh with its lusts, the Spirit being the only power for christian walk. He warns them of the consequences of sowing to the
Flesh, but in sowing to the Spirit they should reap eternal life
Noah - To him God revealed that because the earth was full of violence, He would destroy all
Flesh with the earth. ...
In Genesis 6 : God said, "My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also

Flesh; yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. He gave Noah and his sons authority over all living things, with permission to eat
Flesh, but not with the blood

Division - , "a standing apart" (diche, "asunder, apart," stasis, "a standing;" the root di--- indicating "division," is found in many words in various languages), is used in

Flesh, yet now we know him thus no longer
Saviour - God says, "All
Flesh shall know that I Jehovah am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob
Castaway - To have preached to others, and vet, through lack of Christian watchfulness, to have allowed the
Flesh to re-assert the mastery and so to become a castaway, to be rejected in the final scrutiny, is a possibility which urges the Apostle himself to more arduous exertions and lends earnestness to his appeal to the Corinthians
Crown - Hence, he is said to have "power over all
Flesh," as a Prince, and a Saviour, "for to give eternal life to as many as the Father hath given him
Lascivious, Lasciviousness - 1: ἀσέλγεια (Strong's #766 — Noun Feminine — aselgeia — as-elg'-i-a ) denotes "excess, licentiousness, absence of restraint, indecency, wantonness;" "lasciviousness" in
Mark 7:22 , one of the evils that proceed from the heart; in
2 Corinthians 12:21 , one of the evils of which some in the church at Corinth had been guilty; in
Galatians 5:19 , classed among the works of the
Flesh; in
Ephesians 4:19 , among the sins of the unregenerate who are "past feeling;" so in
1 Peter 4:3 ; in
Jude 1:4 , of that into which the grace of God had been turned by ungodly men; it is translated "wantonness" in
Romans 13:13 , one of the sins against which believers are warned; in
2 Peter 2:2 , according to the best mss
Lawful, Lawfully - , agreeably to its design; the meaning here is that, while no one can be justified or obtain eternal life through its instrumentality, the believer is to have it in his heart and to fulfill its requirements; walking "not after the

Galatians 5:20)
Mouth - —a usage that helped not a little to prepare the Jewish mind at last to apprehend the meaning of the Word made
Flesh
Thousand Years - Sin will not wholly cease, for men shall be still in the
Flesh, and therefore death will come, but at long intervals, life being vastly prolonged as in the days of the patriarchs (
Isaiah 65:20); but sin will not be that almost universal power that it is now. Satan will no longer seduce the
Flesh, nor be the "god" and "prince of this world" (
John 14:30;
2 Corinthians 4:4), which now "lieth in the wicked one" (
1 John 5:19). The
Flesh, untempted from without, shall become more and more subject to the spirit. Christ with His saints, in transfigured bodies, will reign over men in the
Flesh. Papias, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Cyprian, expected an earthly millennial kingdom; not until millennial views carnally confounded the state of the transfigured king-priests with that of the subject nations in the
Flesh, and the church itself sought a present visible kingdom with Rome as its center, instead of hoping for it only when Christ shall come, was the doctrine abandoned by the church and apostasy set in. Earthly and heavenly glories shall be united in the twofold election: elect Israel in the
Flesh shall stand at the head of the earthly nations; the elect spiritual church, in the heavenly kingdom, shall reign over both. ...
Peter (
2 Peter 1:16-18) makes the transfiguration the earnest of Christ's coming in glory (Matthew 17); it is the miniature specimen of the millennial kingdom: first, Christ in glory, then Moses a specimen of those raised from the dead at Christ's coming, then Elijah a specimen of those who never taste death, but being found alive are transfigured in a moment (
1 Corinthians 15:51-52); finally Peter, James, and John, the specimen of Israel and the nations in the
Flesh who shall desire the tabernacling among them of Christ and the transfigured saints: "Lord, it is good to be here," etc. ...
Even during the millennium there is a separation between heaven and earth, humanity transfigured and humanity in the
Flesh. Hence, apostasy can take place at its close; out of the one element of evil in it, the
Flesh, man's birthsin the only influence then preventing the saving of all souls. Finally, when the corrupt
Flesh and Satan shall have been cast out forever after the millennium, the general resurrection, judgment, and regeneration of our home shall follow
Body - When distinguished from σάρξ (English Version ‘flesh’), which applies to the material or substance of the living body (
2 Corinthians 12:7), σῶμα designates the body as an organic whole, a union of related pads (
1 Corinthians 12:12); but σῶμα and σάρξ are sometimes used in connexions which make them practically synonymous (cf. It is true that he makes use of the contrasted terms ‘flesh’ and ‘spirit,’ ‘body’ and ‘soul,’ which had become general among the Jews through familiarity with the Septuagint , and were thus indirectly due to contact with the Greek world. The argument depends on the interpretation given to the word ‘flesh’ (σάρξ) in those passages where it is employed in on ethical sense in contrast with ‘spirit’ (πνεῦμα). Paul’s category of the ‘works of the
Flesh’ (
Galatians 5:19 ff. The antithesis of
Flesh and spirit, then, cannot be interpreted as amounting to a dualistic opposition between man’s body and his soul. The ‘carnal’ man, with his ‘mind of the
Flesh’ at enmity with God (
Romans 8:7), is the same as the ‘natural’ man who receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God (
1 Corinthians 2:14), and so is to be distinguished from the ‘spiritual’ man in whom a supernatural and Divine principle is already at work (
1 Corinthians 2:13 ff. His sense, too, of the weakness of the
Flesh and its subjection to the forces of evil leads him to describe the present body as a tabernacle in which we groan, being burdened. But while he clung passionately to the hope of the resurrection, he did not believe in the resurrection of the present body of
Flesh and blood (
1 Corinthians 15:50). But whatever further meanings may be seen in it, and even under theories of a Real Presence, which is something other and more than a purely spiritual presence, the bread which Jesus broke at the Last Supper was, in the first place, a symbol of His own body of
Flesh and blood which was yielded to death in a sacrifice of love. Paul’s Use of the Terms
Flesh and Spirit, Glasgow, 1883; H
Boar - The
Flesh of "swine" (domestic) was forbidden food to Israel. Probably they refrained themselves from the
Flesh, and compromised between conscience and covetousness by selling them to their neighbors the Gentiles
Veil of the Temple - "From the top," not from the bottom; for it is God who from above rends the veil of separation between us and Him, and opens heaven to man, as the hymn of Ambrose says, "when Thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death Thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all believers"; therefore not only ministers but we all alike "have boldness (parresia , literally, freedom of speech, grounded on the consciousness that our sins are forgiven) to enter the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He hath consecrated for us through the veil, that is to say, His
Flesh" (
Hebrews 10:19-21); rather, "which (entering) He has newly consecrated (enekainisen , 'inaugurated'; it is a new thing, unheard of before) for us as a new (recently opened) and living way" (not the lifeless way of dead sacrificial victims under the law, but the living and lifegiving Saviour being the way). ...
As the veil had to be passed through to enter the holiest, so the human suffering
Flesh (
Hebrews 5:7) of Christ's manhood which veiled His Godhead had to be passed through by Him in entering the heavenly holiest for us. When He put off His rent
Flesh, the temple veil, its type, was simultaneously rent. Not His body, but His suffering
Flesh, was the veil; His body was the "temple" (naos , "the inner shrine," not the temple building in general, hieron ) which men destroyed and He reared up again in three days (
John 2:19;
John 2:21)
Type - ...
EVE as 'builded' from a rib of Adam, and declared to be bone of his bone and
Flesh of his
Flesh — type of the church, those who in relation to Christ are members of His body
. ...
THE BRAZEN SERPENT as raised up by Moses, a look to which gave life — type of the condemnation of sin in the
Flesh in the death of Christ as the One lifted up on the cross, which thus became the door into eternal life
Lust - ...
There is no instance in the NT where the English word ‘lust’ is used de bono in the Authorized Version unless we supply the word in
Galatians 5:17 -‘the
Flesh lusteth (ἐπιθυμεῖ) against the Spirit and the Spirit (lusteth) against the
Flesh. But Rendall is probably right in saying that the word ἐπιθυμεῖ here is neutral and equally applicable to the good desires of the Spirit and the evil lusts of the
Flesh (Expositor’s Greek Testament , ‘Galatians,’ 1903, in loc. The difference between
Flesh and spirit was physical. So concupiscence was supremely manifested in the lusts of the
Flesh interpreted in a sensual fashion. The world is the ‘lust of the
Flesh,’ the ‘lust of the eyes,’ and the ‘pride of life. It is found in man as the desires of the ‘flesh and mind’ (
Ephesians 2:3), and specifically called the lusts of men (
1 Peter 4:2). ...
Similarly, and characteristically, the origin of lust is ascribed to the
Flesh, i. The ‘lusts of the
Flesh’ mean much more than sensuality. ‘It was not the corruptible
Flesh that made the soul sinful, but the sinful soul that made the
Flesh corrupt’ (Aug. John (1618399886_31) is not to be taken as making the ‘lust of the
Flesh’ the origin of the ‘lust of the eyes’ and of the ‘pride of possession,’ nor are these a complete summary of sin. ‘the lust springing from the
Flesh,’ etc. Here again the ‘flesh’ is the origin of evil desire-not the body as such, but the sinful personality (Law
explains ‘flesh’ otherwise here, but the very fact that the ‘flesh’ is regarded as causing desire is against him)
Mary - "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of
Flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same. " (
Hebrews 2:17) It is plain then, that he must be man, bone of our bone, and
Flesh of our
Flesh. Certainly the Son of God might have assumed a body such as ours, consisting both of
Flesh and spirit, and formed, as the first earthly man Adam was, of nothing; but then this would not have been what Scripture saith Christ must be, of "the seed of the woman," and what the promise declared. For we road that at the creation, the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs and closed up the
Flesh instead thereof: and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from the man, made he a woman. (
Genesis 2:21-23) No doubt the Lord God could have done this by the manhood of Christ; and in this case, it might have been said of the second Adam, as the first Adam said to Eve, "this is now bone of my bone, and
Flesh of my
Flesh. ...
We find then, that for Christ to be of the seed of the woman, of the same
Flesh and blood with those he came to redeem, and to be born under the law, to redeem them that are under the law, he must still come nearer to our nature, and be born as the children are born, only with that distinguishing and vast difference, that though he partakes of our nature, yet it is the sinless infirmities of our nature only

Seventy - (

Titus 3:6, 2 Peter 1:1 , "our God and Savior Jesus Christ; RV, where the pronoun "our," coming immediately in connection with "God," involves the inclusion of both titles as refering to Christ, just as in the parallel in

Leviticus 11:5 ,

Grass - If, as is probable, it was in this wider sense that Christ and His contemporaries used the word, it lends new point and charm to His appeal, ‘If God so clothe the grass of the field’ (
Matthew 6:30), and invests with fresh beauty the familiar words, ‘All
Flesh is grass, and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass’ (

Occasion - " In the NT it occurs as follows: "(a) the Law provided sin with a base of operations for its attack upon the soul,
Romans 7:8,11 ; (b) the irreproachable conduct of the Apostle provided his friends with a base of operations against his detractors,
2 Corinthians 5:12 ; (c) by refusing temporal support at Corinth he deprived these detractors of their base of operations against him,
2 Corinthians 11:12 ; (d) Christian freedom is not to provide a base of operations for the

Rahab - And yet with all those disadvantages, this Rahab, this harlot, was a believer in the Lord God of Israel! Oh, the wonders of distinguishing grace! And what tends yet more to raise our views of the Lord's peculiar manifestation and love to this poor harlot, is the consideration that from the stock of this woman, after the
Flesh, the Lord appointed the future advent of his dear Son. By her marriage to Salmon; from whom sprang Boaz; and by the marriage of Boaz with Ruth, sprang Obed; and from Obed, Jesse; and from Jesse, David; and from David, after twice fourteen generations after the
Flesh, sprang Christ

Flesh and spirit are often juxtaposed. The

Galatians 5:16-26 ). Weakness of

Flesh (
Philippians 3:3 )
Lord's Supper, the - The central content of the meal is the
Flesh of the slain lamb. ...
The disciples did not eat the
Flesh of Christ by taking the bread and they did not drink his blood in taking the wine. Then he identified this bread with his
Flesh, which is eaten (lit. ) The use of the term "flesh" belongs to the antidocetic emphasis of the Gospel and thus the element of the Eucharist is here
Flesh (not body) and blood. This is because partakers of the Eucharist enjoy a communion with him in the eating of his living
Flesh (vivified by the Spirit) and the drinking of his blood, which was not possible before his glorification to the Father's right hand. Yet this eating and drinking of
Flesh and blood are not physical but spiritual ("the words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life, " v. Then, in the high priestly prayer of Jesus we hear him consecrating himself as the source of the

Apollinaris the Younger, Bishop of Laodicea - He appealed to the fact that the Scripture says "the Word was made
Flesh"—not spirit; "God was manifest in the
Flesh," etc. In this way Apollinaris established so close a connexion of the Logos with human
Flesh that all the divine attributes were transferred to the human nature and all the human attributes to the divine and the two merged in one nature in Christ. Hence he could speak of a crucifixion of the Logos and a worship of His
Flesh
Mind - Its use in the NT may be analyzed as follows: it denotes (a) the faculty of knowing, the seat of the understanding,
Luke 24:45 ;
Romans 1:28 ; 14:5 ;
1 Corinthians 14:15,19 ;
Ephesians 4:17 ;

1 Corinthians 1:10 ; 2:16 , twice (1) of the thoughts and counsels of God, (2) of Christ, a testimony to His Godhood;
Ephesians 4:23 ; (c) the new nature, which belongs to the believer by reason of the new birth,
Romans 7:23,25 , where it is contrasted with "the
Flesh," the principle of evil which dominates fallen man. ...
A — 6: φρόνημα (Strong's #5427 — Noun Neuter — phronema — fron'-ay-mah ) denotes "what one has in the mind, the thought" (the content of the process expressed in phroneo, "to have in mind, to think"); or "an object of thought;" in
Romans 8:6 (AV, "to be carnally minded" and "to be spiritually minded"), the RV, adhering to the use of the noun, renders by "the mind of the
Flesh," in vv. Under (a) it is rendered by the verb "to mind" in the following:
Romans 8:5 , "(they that are after the
Flesh) do mind (the things of the
Flesh);"
Romans 12:16 , "be of (the same) mind," lit
Slaughter - 17:11: “For the life of the
Flesh is in the blood; and I have given it for you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement, by reason of the life” (RSV). ” This usage is closely linked with “slaughter for sacrifice” since all eating of
Flesh was sacrificial among ancient Hebrews. The word carries this meaning in
1 Kings 19:21: “And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their
Flesh … and gave unto the people, and they did eat
Adultery - But as Jesus saith, "from the beginning it was not so," for "He which made male and female said, They twain shall be one

Flesh. A husband cannot be one
Flesh with both his wife and another woman. The teachings are that: Christ, Head of the body, is to have the one permanent position of honor (
Colossians 1:18 ); when the body suffers, it is an extension of the sufferings of Christ, the Head (
Colossians 1:24 ); a puffed up (fleshy) mind has lost connection with the Head, Christ (
Colossians 2:16-19 ); and members of the body of Christ are to avoid disputes and live in peace (
Colossians 3:12-15 )
Envy - As a sin of the
Flesh, envy characterizes the lives of the unregenerate. Envy is listed among the sins of the
Flesh that must be conquered through the power of the Holy Spirit (
1Col 3:3;
2Col 12:20;
1 Peter 2:1 )
Meats - To eat the
Flesh with the blood was forbidden them, much more to eat the blood without the

Galatians, Theology of - There Paul describes the change in behavior among the Christians of Galatia by suggesting that, although they had begun in the power of the Spirit are now seeking to complete their salvation by means of the
Flesh. This contrast between Spirit and
Flesh is very important for Paul, especially in this letter. The word "flesh" is appropriate because of the Judaizers' emphasis on circumcision (6:12-13), but it also suggests the weakness of human nature and thus our inability to please God (cf. Accordingly, the term "flesh" becomes shorthand to describe the character of the present evil world (a phrase used
in 1:4), that is, everything that is opposite the world to come, which in turn is represented by the Spirit. ...

Flesh is to "walk" in the Spirit, to be led by the Spirit, to bear the fruit of the Spirit, to "keep in step" with the Spirit (5:16,18, 22,25). But because such an identity is something that can be achieved by personal effort (the "flesh"), the attempt to gain it reflects not confidence in God (faith ) but confidence in one's own righteousness

Other - ...
Behold, it was turned again as his other
Flesh
Proselyte - The first were called "proselytes of the gate," and were foreigners, either bond or free, who lived among the Jews and conformed to their customs in regard to what the rabbins call "the seven precepts of Noah;" that is, they abstained from injurious language in respect to God, from idolatry, homicide, incest, robbery, resistance to magistrates, and from eating blood, or the
Flesh of animals killed without shedding their blood
Manna - ‘I am the living bread that cometh down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; yea, and the bread which I will give is my
Flesh, for the life of the world’ (
John 6:51)
Encratites - ), heretics who abstained from
Flesh, wine, and the marriage bed, believing them essentially impure. An interesting specimen of Pythagorean doctrine on this subject is his work περὶ ἀποχής τῶν ἐμψύχων , addressed to a friend who after trial of abstinence had wickedly relapsed into the use of
Flesh diet. We find from the Clementines that the Ebionite sects which arose out of Essenism permitted marriage but disallowed
Flesh meat and wine; and that their doctrine respecting God's work of creation was quite orthodox. But he adds that a defence of their doctrines in eight books had been published by a leader of theirs Dositheus a Cilician in which he inveighed against marriage and the tasting of wine or partaking of
Flesh meat
Goat - Goats constituted a large part of Hebrew flocks; for the milk and the
Flesh were articles of food
Thorn in the Flesh - If we consider the fact, "which the experience of God's saints in all ages has conclusively established, of the difficulty of subduing an infirmity of temper, as well as the pain, remorse, and humiliation such an infirmity is wont to cause to those who groan under it, we may be inclined to believe that not the least probable hypothesis concerning the 'thorn' or 'stake' in the
Flesh is that the loving heart of the apostle bewailed as his sorest trial the misfortune that, by impatience in word, he had often wounded those for whom he would willingly have given his life" (Lias's Second Cor
John, Gospel of Saint - Consisting of twenty-one chapters, it is written in chronological order and contains: prologue declaring the Eternity and Divinity of the Word made
Flesh (1:1-18); manifestation of Christ's glory as Messias and Son of God in His public ministry (1:1
9 to 12:50); revelation of His glory to the Apostles on the night before His Passion (13-17); outer glorification of Jesus in His Passion and death (18,19); manifestation of His Glory as the Risen Lord (20,21)
Reap - 1: θερίζω (Strong's #2325 — Verb — therizo — ther-id'-zo ) "to reap" (akin to theros, "summer, harvest"), is used (a) literally,
Matthew 6:26 ; 25:24,26 ;
Luke 12:24 ; 19:21,22 ;
James 5:4 (2nd part), AV, "have reaped;" (b) figuratively or in proverbial expressions,
John 4:36 (twice),37,38, with immediate reference to bringing Samaritans into the kingdom of God, in regard to which the disciples would enjoy the fruits of what Christ Himself had been doing in Samaria; the Lord's words are, however, of a general application in respect of such service; in
1 Corinthians 9:11 , with reference to the right of the Apostle and his fellow missionaries to receive material assistance from the church, a right which he forbore to excerise; in
2 Corinthians 9:6 (twice), with reference to rendering material help to the needy, either "sparingly" or "bountifully," the "reaping" being proportionate to the sowing; in
Galatians 6:7,8 (twice), of "reaping" corruption, with special reference, according to the context, to that which is naturally shortlived, transient (though the statement applies to every form of sowing to the
Flesh), and of "reaping" eternal life (characteristics and moral qualities being in view), as a result of sowing "to the Spirit," the reference probably being to the new nature of the believer, which is, however, under the controlling power of the Holy Spirit,
Galatians 6:9 , the "reaping" (the effect of well doing) being accomplished, to a limited extent, in this life, but in complete fulfillment at and beyond the Judgment-Seat of Christ; diligence or laxity here will then produce proportionate results; in
Revelation 14:15 (twice),16, figurative of the discriminating judgment Divinely to be fulfilled at the close of this age, when the wheat will be separated from the tares (see
Matthew 13:30 )
Almond - "The almond tree bears its blossoms in the midst of winter, on a naked, leafless stem, and these blossoms (reddish or
Flesh-coloured in the beginning) seem at the time of their fall exactly like white snow-flakes
Euchites - The same denomination was used in the twelfth century to denote certain fanatics who infested the Greek and Eastern churches, and who were charged with believing a double trinity, rejecting wedlock, abstaining from
Flesh, treating with contempt the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's supper, and the various branches of external worship, and placing the essence of religion solely in external prayer; and maintaining the efficacy of perpetual supplications to the Supreme Being for expelling an evil being or genius, which dwelt in the breast of every mortal
Coal - In
Isaiah 6:6 and
1 Kings 19:6 the "coals" are in the Hebrew (rezeph ) hot stones, on which cakes were baked and
Flesh cooked
Templars - then king of Jerusalem, with the concurrence of the pope: and the principal articles of their rule were, that they should hear the holy office throughout every day; or that, when their military duties should prevent this, they should supply it by a certain number of paternosters; that they should abstain from
Flesh four days in the week, and on Fridays from eggs and milk meats; that each knight might have three horses and one squire, and that they should neither hunt nor fowl
Envy - In the New Testament envy is a common member of vice lists as that which comes out of the person and defiles (
Mark 7:22 ), as a characteristic of humanity in rebellion to God (
Romans 1:29 ), as a fruit of the
Flesh (
Galatians 5:21 ), as a characteristic of unregenerate life (
Titus 3:3 ) and as a trait of false teachers (
1 Timothy 6:4 )
Hare - The sacred legislator did not design the classification of a scientific naturalist or a comparative anatomist, but to furnish a popular mode of recognizing animals the
Flesh of which was not to be eaten
Penitence - It was necessary before a woman could be admitted, that she had first committed the sin of the
Flesh
Desire - Fulfilling the desires of the
Flesh
Lust - Following conversion, such
Fleshly desires compete for control of the individual with spiritual desires (
Galatians 5:16-17 ;
2 Timothy 2:22 ).
1 John 2:16-17 warns that desires of the
Flesh and eyes are not from God and will pass away with the sinful world
Bridle - ...
James 3:2 (a) GOD expects that man will control all the notions, desires and motions of the

Philemon - Such Christian masters, treating their slaves as "above servants" (
Philemon 1:16), "brothers beloved both in the
Flesh and in the Lord," mitigated the evil of slavery and paved the way for its abolition
Eve - So that though Christ is of the seed of David, according to the
Flesh, and the seed of the woman, according to promise, and thus literally and truly belonging to both, yet indeed, and in truth, unconnected with either

Flesh, sprung Christ
Shut - Sâgar is used for the first time in the Old Testament in the story of the creation of the woman from the rib of the man: “And the Lord God … closed up the
Flesh instead thereof” (
Camel - This quadruped was forbidden as food to the Hebrews,
Leviticus 11:4;
Deuteronomy 14:7; the
Flesh, however, especially the hump, is now liked by the Arabs; the milk is considered a cooling, nutritious drink, and the dung is much used for fuel
Likeness, Likeness of - , "likenesses"); (b) in the abstract sense,
Romans 1:23 , RV, "(for) the likeness (of an image);" the AV translates it as a verb, "(into an image) made like to;" the association here of the two words homoioma and eikon (see IMAGE) serves to enhance the contrast between the idol and "the glory of the incorruptible God," and is expressive of contempt; in
Romans 5:14 , "(the) likeness of Adam's transgression" (AV, "similitude"); in
Romans 6:5 , "(the) likeness (of His death); in
Romans 8:3 , "(the) likeness (of sinful
Flesh); in
Philippians 2:7 , "the likeness of men
Likewise - ...
4: παραπλησίως (Strong's #3898 — Adverb — paraplesios — par-ap-lay-see'-oce ) from para, "beside," and the adjective plesios, "near" (akin to the adverb pelas, "near, hard by"), is used in
Hebrews 2:14 , AV, "likewise" (RV, "in like manner"), expressing the true humanity of Christ in partaking of
Flesh and blood
Mouse -
Isaiah 66:17 , justly reproaches the Jews with eating the
Flesh of mice and other things that were impure and abominable
Gethsemane - The animal lay on the ground, with its feet tied, the man's knee pressed rudely against its side, while it seemed as if every movement of the shears would lacerate its
Flesh; yet during the whole, it struggled not and opened not its moutha touching memento, upon that sacred spot, of the Lamb of God,
Isaiah 53:7
Faith - By it the Christian overcomes the world, the
Flesh, and the devil, and receives the crown of righteousness,
1 Timothy 4:7-8
Cuttings in the Flesh - CUTTINGS IN THE
Flesh . The former passage runs thus: ‘Ye shall not make any cuttings in your
Flesh for the dead
Immanuel - "Immanuel" is a Hebrew word meaning "God with us" and expresses the wonder of the incarnation, that God "became
Flesh and made his dwelling among us" (
John 1:14 ). Matthew's use of this verse was extraordinarily appropriate in light of Mary's unique virginity and the incarnation of Jesus, who was God in the
Flesh
Gilgal - Here the Israelites were circumcised: type of the putting off the body of the
Flesh; that is, of separation from the system in which man in the
Flesh lives: cf
Animals, Clean And Unclean - These animals in their habits and instincts were used of God to teach His people as to habits and ways of the
Flesh that were unclean in His sight. The unclean are mostly those that are
Flesh-eating
Camel - She has not bestowed upon him the
Fleshiness of the ox, horse, or elephant; but limiting herself to what is strictly necessary, has given him a long head, without ears, at the end of a long neck without
Flesh; has taken from his legs and thighs every muscle not immediately requisite for motion; and, in short, bestowed upon his withered body only the vessels and tendons necessary to connect its frame together. She has furnished him with a strong jaw, that he may grind the hardest aliments; but, lest he should consume too much, has straitened his stomach, and obliged him to chew the cud; has lined his foot with a lump of
Flesh, which sliding in the mud, and being no way adapted to climbing, fits him only for a dry, level, and sandy soil, like that of Arabia
Honour - ...
The other passage is in
Colossians 2:23, οὐκ ἐν τιμῇ τινὶ πρὸς πλησμονὴν τῆς σαρκός, which is translated, ‘not in any honour to the satisfying of the
Flesh’ (Authorized Version ), ‘not of any value (honour, Revised Version margin) against the indulgence of the
Flesh’ (Revised Version ). Eadie’s translation and interpretation seem to us the best: ‘Which things, having indeed a show of wisdom in superstition, humility, and corporeal austerity, not in anything of value, are for, or minister to, the gratification of the
Flesh
Law of Moses - It was given to Israel only, the one nation which was under God's special dealings, and in which He was trying man in the
Flesh. A Christian has died with Christ and lives unto God, beyond the jurisdiction of law, which applies to man in the
Flesh, man 'in Adam. ...
Man naturally clings to law because it recognises him as alive in the
Flesh
Marriage - ...
The relational aspect of God's image is reflected in the bringing together of male and female in "one
Flesh" (
Genesis 1:27 ; 2:21-24 ). Children are one manifestation of the "one
Flesh" of marriage. ...
One
Flesh (
Genesis 2:24 ). "One
Flesh" involves the unity of the whole person: purpose, physical, and life—a unity whereby the two become a new, God-designed, balanced life. Sexually the two become "one
Flesh" physically as reflected in their offspring. God's ideal exclusiveness of the "one
Flesh" relationship disallows any other relationship: homosexuality, polygamy, adultery, premarital sex, concubinage, incest, bestiality, cultic prostitution. Becoming "one
Flesh" is used in Scripture for the consummating sexual act of marriage. ...
These aspects of "one
Flesh" argue against premarital sex, promiscuity, and perversion of the sexual act. Inappropriate use of leadership should be curbed by the unique intimacy and union implied in the phrases "one
Flesh, " "no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, " and "joint heirs of the grace of life" (
Ephesians 5:29-31 ;
1 Peter 3:7 )
Son of Man - New Testament designation for Jesus as God incarnate in
Flesh and agent of divine judgment. The Son of man is true
Flesh and blood. In the context of
Hebrews 2:1 , all the Gospel emphases on Son of man coalesce—a strong incarnational emphasis on His real
Flesh and blood, a vivid depiction of His representative suffering, and the note that by that suffering He acquires His glory and honor and leads many to glory. In any event, the significance of the term was not lost, for the New Testament writers all attest to the profound teachings which this term embodies—the true humanity of the Word made
Flesh, the necessity of His suffering and death for salvation, the glory of His reign over an everlasting kingdom, and His final coming to judge the just and the unjust
Lord's Supper (ii) - Thus it supplied the starting-point for the conversation with the multitude, in which our Lord identified ‘the bread out of heaven that is genuine,’ which ‘the Father giveth,’ with Himself as ‘the bread of God which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world,’ ‘the bread of life,’ ‘the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die,’ ‘the living bread which came down out of heaven’ and further declared, ‘the bread which I will give is my
Flesh, for the life of the world’ (
John 6:32-51). As the conversation proceeded, our Lord spoke, in still clearer terms, of the reception of His
Flesh and blood as the means whereby there was to be participation in Himself, and as requisite to the possession of life; ‘Except ye eat the
Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves. He that eateth my
Flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life’; ‘My
Flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. He that eateth my
Flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him’; ‘He that eateth me, he also shall live because of me. Recognizing the difficulty caused to His hearers by this teaching, our Lord laid stress on the deep spiritual significance of what He had said: ‘The Spirit is the life-giver; the
Flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life’ (
John 6:61-63). An act of eating the
Flesh and drinking the blood of Christ is anticipated as the way in which His disciples will participate in the life which is in Him. As such it suggests (α) a real spiritual participation on the part of the communicant in the human nature of Christ by the power of the Holy Ghost, and a consequent union with His Divine Person; (β) connexion with His death, indicated in the words ‘the bread which I will give is my
Flesh, for the life of the world,’ and with His resurrection, indicated by the references to ‘the bread of life’ and ‘the living bread. (β) This idea had been emphasized in our Lord’s ministry in the Feeding of the Five thousand and the subsequent discourse, and the disciples had been taught that in eating His
Flesh and drinking His blood they would have participation in Divine life (
John 6:53-57). (δ) The close connexion of the words ‘The Spirit is the life-giver; the
Flesh profiteth nothing’ (
John 6:63) with the teaching about eating the
Flesh of the Son of Man and drinking His blood, suggests that in the rite which our Lord was instituting there would be the operation of the Holy Ghost and a work of spiritual efficacy
Immanuel - Jesus was God become
Flesh, God incarnate, God with us in Person
Soul - A parallel change in the use of the term ‘flesh’ and its corresponding adjective may be noted
Numbering of the People - It indicated a reliance on his part on an arm of
Flesh, an estimating of his power not by the divine favour but by the material resources of his kingdom
Separate - ]'>[1] ...
A — 2: χωρίζω (Strong's #5563 — Verb — chorizo — kho-rid'-zo ) "to put asunder, separate," is translated "to separate" in
Romans 8:35,39 ; in the Middle Voice, "to separate oneself, depart" (see DEPART); in the Passive Voice in
Hebrews 7:26 , RV , "separated" (AV, "separate"), the verb here relates to the resurrection of Christ, not, as AV indicates, to the fact of His holiness in the days of His
Flesh; the list is progressive in this respect that the first three qualities apply to His sinlessness, the next to His resurrection, the last to His ascension
Quench, Unquenchable - For there was always the danger that the impulses of the
Flesh might usurp the place of the energy of the Spirit in the assembly, and the endeavor to restrain this evil by natural means would have the effect of hindering His ministry also
Saturnians - This way is beset with difficulties and sufferings, since those souls who propose returning to the Supreme Being must abstain from wine,
Flesh, wedlock, and in short from every thing that tends to sensual gratification or even bodily refreshment
Hard - ) Not easily penetrated, cut, or separated into parts; not yielding to pressure; firm; solid; compact; - applied to material bodies, and opposed to soft; as, hard wood; hard
Flesh; a hard apple
Likeness - Paul's statement that Christ came “in the likeness of sinful
Flesh” (
Romans 8:3 ) parallels “born in the likeness of men” (
Philippians 2:7 ), testifying that the incarnate Christ was truly human
Bashan - ...
BULLS OF BASHAN are figurative of strong ruthless enemies,
Amos 4:1 , whom God in the coming judgement on Gog will crush, and will call for the fowls and the beasts to come and feed upon their
Flesh and their blood,
Ezekiel 39:18 : and lastly, when the blessed Lord was on the cross, His description of His vindictive enemies includes the strong bulls of Bashan which beset Him around, and gaped upon Him with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion
Babylon the Great - ...
It is further revealed that the ten horns (the ten kingdoms of the future Roman empire) will make war with the woman, make her desolate and naked, will eat her
Flesh and burn her with fire
Shalamite - Though she is "peace" yet she has warfare here with the
Flesh within and foes without
Sarah, Sarai, Sara - Ishmael represents the man born after the
Flesh, who persecutes him born after the Spirit
Vail, Veil - In Christianity the believer has boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way which He has consecrated for us through the veil, that is to say, His
Flesh
Kingdom of Christ - Blessedly Jesus spake of this to the Father, in that comprehensive manner: (
John 17:2) "As thou hast given him power over all
Flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him
Heaven - "Thus saith the Lord, The heaen is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?" (
Isaiah 66:1) But Solomon breaks out in an expression, as one overwhelmed with surprise and wonder in the contemplation: "But will God indeed (said he) dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee!" (
1 Kings 8:27) But what would this mighty monarch have said, had he lived to have seen the Lord of heaven and earth tabernacling in the substance of our
Flesh?...
But, though, according to the language of Scripture, we call that place heaven which John saw opened, and where the more immediate presence of the Lord is gloriously displayed, yet it were to limit the Holy One of Israel to suppose, that JEHOVAH dwelleth in any place, to the exclusion of his presence or glory elsewhere
Unction - Hence then it should be considered, (and I beg the pious reader to consider it, and keep it in remembrance proportioned to its infinite importance) as Christ is called Messiah, that is Christ, as the anointed of God, before he openly appeared at his incarnation, so the church of Christ is called his church; and for which, in salvation-work, Christ was made Christ, before he was made
Flesh, and dwelt among us; nor, as the Son of God, had it not been for his church's sake, ever would have been sent by the Father, neither would have taken our nature into the GODHEAD, neither have been anointed by the Holy Ghost
Jezebel - ...
It may appear somewhat marvellous, that such a circumstance should take place as that of dogs being allowed to eat human
Flesh, and in the very open streets of the city
Satisfied, To Be - In its first occurrence in the Old Testament text, śâba‛ expresses the idea of “being filled, sated”: “… When the Lord shall give you in the evening
Flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full …” (
Fat - " Others maintain that the law which forbids the use of fat, should be restrained to fat separated from the
Flesh, such as that which covers the kidneys and the intestines: and this only in the case of its being offered in sacrifice
Sanctify - Paul speaks of "the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, as sanctifying unto the purifying of the
Flesh,"
Hebrews 9:13
Adversary - " In
Galatians 5:17 it is used of the antagonism between the Holy Spirit and the
Flesh in the believer; in
1 Timothy 1:10 , of anything, in addition to persons, that is opposed to the doctrine of Christ
Christmas - In the fourth century, the controversy over the nature of Christ, whether He was truly God or a created being, led to an increased emphasis on the doctrine of the incarnation, the affirmation that “the Word was made
Flesh” (
John 1:14 )
World: Vanity of Pursuit of - Suppose the offer were this: You shall die slowly; your blood shall daily grow cold, your
Flesh petrify, your heart beat at last only as a rusty group of iron valves
Redeemer - It is the man whose name is the Branch, it is Jesus, who in his human nature is bone of our bone and
Flesh of our
Flesh, that hath wrought out salvation
Ishmael - Abraham prayed that Ishmael might live before God, but typically he represents the seed of Abraham according to the
Flesh, hence though God answered that He would bless Ishmael, and multiply him exceedingly, he should also beget twelve princes, and God would make him a great nation; yet the covenant should be established with Isaac. In this act Abraham acknowledged in faith that the blessing asked for his natural seed could not be had through the strength of the
Flesh: all the mercies of God are secured in resurrection
Cerinthus - The crucial passage is
1 John 4:2-3 a, which, literally translated from the critical texts, reads: ‘Hereby know ye the spirit of God; every spirit which confesses Jesus Christ come in the
Flesh is of God, and every spirit which confesses not Jesus is not of God. ’ The use of ‘Jesus’ alone in
1 John 4:3 a makes it almost certain that
1 John 4:2 should be taken to mean ‘confesses Jesus as Christ come in the
Flesh
Walk - ...
To walk after the
Flesh, to indulge sensual appetites, and to live in sin. ...
To walk in the
Flesh, to live this natural life, which is subject to infirmities and calamities
Cross - Christians demonstrate the truth of this in their daily lives by living victoriously over the old sinful nature, the
Flesh (
Galatians 5:24;
Galatians 6:14; see
Flesh)
Fasting - Every child of God well knows from his own experience, arising from a body of sin and death that he carries about him, that
Fleshly lusts of every kind war against the soul; that it is impossible to be too strict in abridging every species of indulgence in the body; and that pampering the
Flesh, is only causing that
Flesh to rebel. Hence, therefore, he desires to observe a perpetual fast in things pertaining to the body, that through grace he may put on the Lord Jesus Christ, "making no provision for the
Flesh, to fulfil the lust thereof
Cainites - Presumably, then, they thought of a division of mankind into two classes-the spiritual and the material, the latter belonging to the realm of the Creator and deriving their being from Him, but doomed to dissolution, while the former class contained the spiritual men, imprisoned, it is true, in bodies of
Flesh, but yet deriving their essential being from the highest Power, opposed by the Creator and His minions, but winning the victory over them as Cain did over Abel. To some it would seem a duty to crush the
Flesh beneath the spirit by the severest austerity, but the premiss might lead to a libertine as well as to an ascetic conclusion: if the spirit alone was important, the
Flesh but contemptible and perishable, what happened to the latter might seem a matter of complete indifference, inasmuch as its degradation could not stain the white purity of the spirit
Incarnation - incarnatio, being or taking
Flesh]'>[1], while a biblical idea, is not a biblical term. That the Word was made
Flesh is the crux of the central passage on incarnation in the New Testament (
John 1:14 ). ...
Formulation of the Doctrine The problems of the incarnation begins with John's assertion, “the Word was made
Flesh” (
John 1:14 ). Clear expression of the relation of the Word to the
Flesh, of divinity to humanity within the person of Jesus became a matter of major concern during the first five centuries of the Christian era
Leper - Sometimes one limb alone is affected with a dead pearl-like whiteness (compare
Exodus 4:6, "Moses' hand was leprous as snow;"
Numbers 12:10;
Numbers 12:12, "as one dead, of whom the
Flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb;"
2 Kings 5:27). Swine's
Flesh and scaleless and finless fish, used as food, tend to generate the disease; one reason of the prohibition (
Leviticus 11:7;
Leviticus 11:9-12). The gradual decay of the body, first of the skin, then the bone, then the
Flesh, life still surviving, vividly represented the sure and deadly process of man's ruin by sin.
Judges 1:23, "hating the garment spotted by the
Flesh," i
Spirits in Prison - It was after Christ had been ‘put to death in the
Flesh’ that He was ‘quickened in the spirit,’ in which He ‘went and preached unto the spirits in prison. 659) that σαρκί in
1 Peter 4:6 proves that the νέκροι must be alive in the
Flesh is not convincing. When they were judged, they were in the
Flesh; but ‘the difference in tense in κριθῶσι, ζῶσι makes the former verb antecedent in time to the latter, and the sense is the same as if St. To these (but not to the exclusion of others) Christ preached, that, having been judged in the
Flesh as men are judged (κατὰ ἀνθρώπους), they might henceforth live in the spirit as God lives (κατὰ θεόν,
1 Peter 4:6)
Red Heifer - One was then to burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, her
Flesh, and her blood, with her dung, all was to be burnt. Then the priest was to wash his clothes, and to bathe his
Flesh in water, and afterward he was to come into the camp, and be unclean until the even. And he that burned the heifer was to wash his clothes inwater, and bathe his
Flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. (
1 Corinthians 15:45) And it is said of him, with peculiar reference to his human nature, that "forasmuch as the children are partakers of
Flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same
Sin - ’ While the mind knows, approves, and delights in the law of God as holy, righteous, and good, the
Flesh is the seat and vehicle of sin. ...
(2) The
Flesh as the seat and vehicle of sin. -As there is in this Dictionary a separate article
Flesh, the subject cannot here be fully discussed: a summary statement must suffice. The
Flesh is not identical with the body, animal appetite, or sensuous impulse; it is man’s whole nature, in so far as he disowns his dependence on God, opposes his will to God, and resists the influence of the Spirit of God. The Law fails to restrain, because of its inherent impotence (τὸ γὰρ ἀδύνατον τοῦ νόμου,
Romans 8:3), as letter and not spirit (
2 Corinthians 3:6), as written on tables of stone and not on tables that are hearts of
Flesh (
2 Corinthians 3:3; cf. Thus sin as a power, finding its seat and vehicle in the
Flesh, not restrained but provoked by the law in the individual, brings a bondage from which the gospel offers deliverance, even as it sets a universal grace of God over against the universal sin of mankind. -What explanation can be offered of the fact of the universality of sin? How has man’s nature become so corrupted and perverted as to be described by the term ‘flesh’? How can sin be represented as a power dwelling in, ruling over, man, and bringing him into bondage? While St. Paul does not in
Romans 5:12;
Romans 5:21 formally offer this explanation, the passage being introduced into the argument for another purpose-to prove the greater efficacy of grace than of sin, by as much as Christ is greater than Adam-yet, as he is there dealing with his view of the introduction of sin into the world, we must regard that passage as his explanation both of sin as a power in humanity and of the
Flesh; for it is not likely that he would leave sin in the race and sin in the individual unconnected. In view, however, of his teaching about the ‘flesh,’ it is more probable that he did regard human nature as corrupted and perverted; and, in the absence of any other explanation, we seem warranted in assuming that he did connect this fact with the Fall. He does not, as is sometimes maintained, represent Adam himself as subject to the
Flesh in the same way as are his descendants; for
1 Corinthians 15:47 contrasts not the unfallen Adam with the pre-existent Christ, but the fallen Adam with the Risen Christ; but be does emphasize the voluntary character of Adam’s act: it was disobedience (
Romans 5:19). Could he have assigned to it the moral significance he does, had he thought of Adam as in the hopeless and helpless bondage described in
Romans 7:7-25? This passage, however, represents that bondage not as directly inherited, but as resulting in the individual from a moral development, in which sin uses the
Flesh to bring it about

2 Corinthians 3:3)
Scourge - The "scourge" was made of leather thongs, weighted with sharp pieces of bone or lead, which tore the

Birthright - ...
It is striking how often God set aside the birthright, in order to show that the objects of His choice are "born not of bloods (Greek natural descents), nor of the will of the
Flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God" (
John 1:13)
Concubine - From the beginning, when man was sinless it was not so; for God made male and female that in marriage "they TWAIN should be one

Serpent, Brazen - " The brazen serpent typified the Son of man, in that...
(1) the brazen serpent had the form without the venom of the deadly serpent; just as Jesus was "in the likeness of sinful
Flesh" yet "without sin" (
Romans 8:3), "made sin for us" though He "knew no sin" (
2 Corinthians 5:21); the brazen serpent seemed the most unlikely means of curing the serpents' bites; so the condemned One seemed most unlikely to save the condemned

Flesh and the unleavened cakes …” (

Flesh of beasts to man for food; this prohibition was continued under the Jewish economy, and transmitted to the Christian church by Apostolic authority,
Acts 15:28-29

Paul in Arabia - And, does Adam burst out into his bridegroom doxology,-This is now bone of my bone, and
Flesh of my
Flesh!-than Paul instantly adds, Amen! But I speak concerning Christ and His Church. I conferred not with
Flesh and blood, he protests. But even Moses and David and Isaiah themselves are but
Flesh and blood compared with God. Even grace itself is but
Flesh and blood compared with Christ, says Thomas Shepard. And that, not merely as made
Flesh, and made sin: not merely as crucified, and risen, and exalted, and glorified; but as He had been before all that, and during all that, and after all that
Naaman - ' And, then, how Naaman came to Samaria with his horses and his chariot; how Elisha sent out and told him to go and wash seven times in Jordan; how Naaman was wroth and would not wash in Jordan, but went away home in a rage: how his excellent servants reasoned with their angry master and how he repented and went and washed in Jordan till his
Flesh came again like the
Flesh of a little child-all that is told in fourteen as solid and as eloquent verses as ever were written. It will humble you to do it, and you are not a humble man; but if you ever come back from Jordan with your
Flesh like the
Flesh of a little child, you will be the foremost to confess that you had almost been lost through your pride, and your prejudice, and your ill-nature. ' Then went he down and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God, and his
Flesh came again like the
Flesh of a little child, and he was clean
Docetism -
Eph_2:9 Heb_2:14 which confute this assertion but do not bear clear marks of having been written with a controversial purpose it appears from
1Jn_4:2 2Jn_1:7 that when these epistles were written there were teachers stigmatised by the writer as prompted by the spirit of Antichrist who denied that Jesus Christ had come in the
Flesh a form of expression implying a Docetic theory. 22), insists that the Valentinian doctrine did not practically differ from pure Docetism; for that if our Lord had not taken substance of
Flesh in the womb of the Virgin He could not have been the real man Who suffered hunger and thirst and weariness, Who wept at the grave of Lazarus, Who sweat drops of blood, from Whose wounded side came forth blood and water. It occurs here in the form "If Christ were without
Flesh and blood, of what sort of
Flesh and blood are the bread and wine, the images (εἰκόνας ) with which He commanded that the memorial of Him should be made?" (cf. John handled the body of our Lord the
Flesh offered no resistance, but yielded place to the disciple's hand
Blood - Forbidden to be eaten (
Genesis 9:4) under the Old Testament, on the ground that "the life (soul) of the
Flesh (the soul which gives life to the
Flesh) is in the blood," and that "God gave it upon the altar to make atonement with for men's souls" (
Leviticus 17:11). ...
Hence appears the propriety of
Hebrews 10:19-20, "having boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He hath consecrated for us through the veil (which was 'rent' at His death), that is to say His
Flesh
Fruit of the Spirit - In the context of these verses, the singular fruit of the Spirit is contrasted with the plural works of the
Flesh (5:19-21). Neither listing is exhaustive, as is clear from Paul's ending of his list of the works of the
Flesh with the phrase, "and things like these, " and his statement at the close of his itemizing of the fruit of the Spirit that "against such things there is no law. It is notable that the fruit of the Spirit, as listed, is in direct opposition to the works stemming from the
Flesh
Food - ), permission to eat the
Flesh of animals, under stipulation as to drawing off the blood, having been first accorded to Noah (
Genesis 9:3 ff. As compared with the wide range of foods supplied by the cereals, vegetables, and fruits above mentioned, the supply of
Flesh-food was confined to such animals and birds as were technically described as ‘clean. ’...
The
Flesh of the goat , and especially of the’ kid of the goats,’ was more relished by the Hebrews than by the present inhabitants of Palestine, by whom the goat is reared chiefly for its milk. Of the neat cattle , the
Flesh of females as well as of males was eaten, the Hebrews not having that repugnance to cow’s
Flesh which distinguished the Egyptians of antiquity, as it does the Hindus of to-day. ...
Of the seven species of game mentioned in
Deuteronomy 14:5 , it is evident from
Deuteronomy 12:15 that the gazelle and the hart were the typical animals of the chase hunted for the sake of their
Flesh. There was forbidden, further, the
Flesh of every animal that had died a natural death (
Deuteronomy 14:21 ,
Leviticus 17:15 ), or had been done to death by a beast of prey (
Exodus 22:31 ,
Leviticus 17:15 ); in short, all
Flesh was rigidly taboo except that of an animal which had been ritually slaughtered as above prescribed. ...
The intimate association in early times between
Flesh-food and sacrifice explains the abhorrence of the Hebrew for all food prepared by the heathen, as illustrated by Daniel (
Daniel 1:8 ), Judas Maccabæus (
2Ma 5:27 ), Josephus ( Vita 3), and their associates (cf
Eternal Life (2) - In the Word ‘which became
Flesh and dwelt among us’ there was a visible manifestation of the life eternal: ‘In him was life; and the life was the light of men’ (
John 1:4); so that He Himself declares, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life’ (
John 14:6). ’ ‘I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea, and the bread which I will give is my
Flesh, for the life of the world. ’ ‘Except ye eat the
Flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves. He that eateth my
Flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day. ’ ‘He that eateth my
Flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me, and I in him. The eating the
Flesh and drinking the blood of the Son of Man have been thought by some expositors to refer to the partaking of the body and blood of Christ in the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper; but such a reference to an institution not yet established, and utterly unknown to His Jewish opponents, would have been strangely irrelevant. He has been ‘crucified with Christ: and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me; and that life which I now live in the
Flesh I live in faith, which is in the Son of God’ (
Galatians 2:20)
Samson - ...
Ultimately, Samson proved little more than a thorn in the
Flesh to the Philistines
Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit - ...
To be indwelt by the Holy Spirit is an immense favour, for He is a divine Person: any one so indwelt is not in the
Flesh, but in the Spirit
Israelite - The Apostle Paul refers to these privileges when he describes his ‘kinsmen according to the
Flesh’ as Israelites ‘whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises’ (
Romans 9:4)
Gluttonous - It is true that the LXX Septuagint here συμβολοκοπῶν οἰνοφλυγεῖ has no resemblance to the phrase in the Gospels, but
Proverbs 23:20 has μηδὲ ἐκτείνου συμβολαῖς as one half of the doublet, ‘among gluttonous eaters of
Flesh’ (בִּוֹלְלֵי בָשָׂר); and in
Proverbs 23:21 Aq
Excommunication - ...
Connected with the case at Corinth there was also mentioned the delivering unto Satan of the guilty person for the destruction of the
Flesh, but this was the determination of Paul as being there in spirit with them (
1 Corinthians 5:4,5 ), which seems to stamp it as an apostolic act
Abstinence - The sacrifice of one's lawful right for our neighbor's good accords with the law of love: "It is good neither to eat
Flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak
Spot - ...
Judges 1:23 (b) This probably refers to any so-called righteousness or plan of salvation, which is contaminated by the works of the
Flesh, or by depending upon merit in the sight of GOD
Three - ...
- the trinity of wickedness is the world, the
Flesh and the devil
Emmanuel - God in our nature, and we the "members of his body, of his
Flesh, and of his bones
Philistines - They represent the pretension and intrusion of man in the
Flesh into that which belongs to God
Miraculous Conception - He is preserved from the contamination adhering to the race whose nature he assumed; and when the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, was made
Flesh, the intercourse which, as man, he had with God, is distinguished, not in degree only but in kind, from that which any prophet ever enjoyed, and, it is infinitely more intimate, because it did not consist in communications occasionally made to him, but arose from the manner in which his human nature had its existence
Food - Christians were forbidden to eat the
Flesh of animals portions of which had been offered to idols
an'Tichrist - 22 we find, "he is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son;" and still more positively, "every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the
Flesh is of antichrist
Hagar - Indeed, from the tendency of every man's mind by nature, to take part with
Flesh and blood rather than spiritual objects, we should have felt disposed to consider Hagar hardly dealt with, and Sarah unkind and cruel. "He that was born after the
Flesh, persecuted him that was born after the Spirit; even so it is now
Cassianus, Julius, a Heretical Teacher - that he who is united to a woman soweth to the
Flesh and therefore shall of the
Flesh reap corruption. Cassian also taught that man had not been originally created with a body like ours, but that these
Fleshly bodies were the "coats of skin" in which the Lord clothed our first parents after the Fall
Descent Into Hades - ...
Thus we find the way prepared for explanation of the difficult passage
1 Peter 3:18-20 : ‘Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the
Flesh, but quickened in the spirit; in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison, which aforetime were disobedient, when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing’; cf.
1 Peter 4:6 ‘For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged according to men in the
Flesh, but live according to God in the spirit
Brother - Thus, as in the instance of our Lord Jesus Christ after the
Flesh, James and Joses were called the brethren of Christ, but in fact, were not so, but only relations of that tribe to which Jesus belonged. Hence the church, before Christ's open manifestation in the
Flesh, so passionately longed for his coming. " (
Romans 8:29) And they are "bone of his bone, and
Flesh of his
Flesh
Self-Surrender - ’ The proof that in ‘the mind’ the ruling element is not ‘flesh’ but ‘spirit’ is the absence of hostility to God; this state of ‘life and peace’ is the result of ‘subjecting oneself to the law of God’ (
Romans 8:8 f
Mysteries - The chemist can not change milk into
Flesh and blood
Veil -
Hebrews 10:20 uses the tabernacle veil, not as the image of a barrier, but of access: Access to God is gained through the
Flesh of the historical Jesus (compare
John 10:7 )
Brothers - The dual function of the term brother as describing both a physical and spiritual relationship bears eloquent testimony to the importance in the Christian community of both the family of
Flesh and the family of faith
Leviathan - ]'>[1] and some recent expositors interpret
Psalms 104:26 ); the Jordan empties itself into his mouth; his
Flesh will be for food to the godly in the days of the Messiah; part of his skin will be made into a tent for them, whilst the rest is spread on the walls of Jerusalem, and its brightness is visible to the ends of the earth (En 60
Groaning - Not creation’s physical sufferings under the bondage of corruption, but her ‘earnest expectation’ of deliverance from it, creates the sense of almost intolerable strain; the ‘firstfruits of the Spirit’ for the moment intensify the burden of the
Flesh; the deepest groanings of the saint arise from his sense of exile, from his ‘longing to be clothed upon with his habitation from heaven’ (
2 Corinthians 5:2)
Sacrifice - ...
The subject was more fully explained under the law: "The life of the
Flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul
Grow - ...
To grow up, ...
To grow together, To close and adhere to become united by growth as
Flesh or the bark of a tree severed
Marcionites - The rule of manners which Marcion prescribed to his followers was excessively austere, containing an express prohibition of wedlock, wine,
Flesh, and all the external comforts of life
Redemption - Finally, when this sacrifice has been accomplished, and the guilt and penalty of our sins expiated, man is redeemed and liberated from the power of sin, of the
Flesh, and of the devil, and restored to the supernatural state
Ready - The spirit is ready, but the
Flesh is weak
Food - (
Leviticus 3:17 ; 7:26 ; 19:26 ; 12:16) Certain portions of the fat of sacrifices were also forbidden, (
Leviticus 3:9,10 ) as being set apart for the altar, (
Leviticus 3:16 ; 7:25 ) In addition to the above, Christians were forbidden to eat the
Flesh of animals portions of which had been offered to idols
Author - Christ in the days of His
Flesh trod undeviatingly the path of faith, and as the Perfecter has brought it to a perfect end in His own person
Exodus, Book of - Moses smote the rock and there came water out of the rock — type of the Holy Spirit — and this was followed by conflict: they fought with Amalek (type of Satan seeking to act upon the weak
Flesh of the believer: comp. Power is not in the
Flesh, but in the Spirit): with Amalek there was to be continued conflict, because they touched the rights of God in His people
Lily - (
Jeremiah 23:6;
Jer 33:16) Is Jesus fair and lovely, sweet and fragrant as the lily of the vallies? so shall the church be in his sight, from the comeliness that he hath put upon her, (
Ezekiel 16:14) In a word, all that Jesus is as the glorious Head of his body the church, such shall be his body, glorious in his glory, and lovely in his loveliness, because in him, and from him all is derived, for "we are members of his body, of his
Flesh, and of his bones. Corruptions within, and persecutions without, the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of the heart, the lusts of the
Flesh, and the pride of life, the reproaches of some, and the heresies of others,...
These make the situations of the godly but too strikingly resembled by the lily in the midst of thorns
Ways - Ways also signifies custom, manners, and way of life: "All
Flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth,"
Genesis 6:12 ;
Genesis 19:31 ;
Jeremiah 32:19 . Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain; and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all
Flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it,"
Isaiah 40:3-5
Spirit - ...
In
Galatians 3:3 , in the phrase "having begun in the Spirit," it is difficult to say whether the reference is to the "Holy Spirit" or to the quickened spirit of the believer; that it possibly refers to the latter is not to be determined by the absence of the article, but by the contrast with "the
Flesh;" on the other hand, the contrast may be between the "Holy Spirit" who in the believer sets His seal on the perfect work of Christ, and the
Flesh which seeks to better itself by works of its own. " In
Galatians 4:29 the phrase "after the Spirit" signifies "by supernatural power," in contrast to "after the
Flesh," i
Calvinists - In proof of the doctrine, they allege among others the following Scripture passages: "Thou hast given him power over all
Flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. The explanation of original sin, as given by Calvin, is as follows: "Original sin seems to be the inheritable descending perverseness and corruption of our nature, poured abroad into all the parts of the soul, which first maketh us deserving of God's wrath, and then also bringeth forth those works in us, called, in Scripture, the works of the
Flesh. Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, among whom also we all had our conversation in times past, in the lust of our
Flesh, fulfilling the desires of the
Flesh, fulfilling the desires of the
Flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. ...
I will take away the stony heart out of their
Flesh, and will give them hearts of
Flesh
Christ in the Middle Ages - the rational soul and
Flesh of the man Christ, by an assumption singularly wonderful and wonderfully singular, that, no merits of his own righteousness having preceded, he should thus become Son of God from the beginning in which he began to be man, that he himself (the man Christ) and the Word might be one person’ (de Correptione et Gratia, 30). ‘In the assumption of
Flesh by God the person of man perished, not the nature’ (adv. He maintained, therefore, that the Deity of Jesus in its exceeding goodness came even to our nature and truly assumed the substance of our
Flesh, so that the Most High God could be called man, the super-essential essence thus shining forth out of humanity. Christ is continually and of His own will mystically born, for He is made
Flesh in and through the redeemed. While the
Flesh became the
Flesh of the Word, and the soul of Jesus the soul of the Word, the human nature remained unaltered in essence. Solely on the ground of the fellowship of the Divine and the human was the
Flesh of the Lord enriched by the Divine activities. Spiritual exaltation from Christ dwelling in us emancipates us from all moral obligation, and makes sins of the
Flesh a matter of indifference. In becoming
Flesh and making atonement for the guilt of humanity He is its Redeemer. Thus the Word became
Flesh and dwelt with us. This thought he is never weary of iterating and enforcing, that whatever our Lord did in the
Flesh was for our instruction by way of example
Kenosis - In four pregnant statements, in which the Christian salvation is brought into most intimate relation with the humiliation of the Son of God, this Kenosis is more fully defined: ‘God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful
Flesh , condemned sin in the
Flesh’ (
Romans 8:3); ‘God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law’ (
Galatians 4:4); ‘Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf’
; ‘Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us’
. The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews lays emphasis on the participation of the Son of God in
Flesh and blood, in order that He might be capable of dying (
Hebrews 2:14); on His experience of temptation as enabling Him to sympathize with and succour the tempted (
Hebrews 2:16, Hebrews 4:15); on the obedience He learned by suffering (
Hebrews 5:8). The prologue to John’s Gospel may be regarded as Apostolic interpretation; and there the Kenosis is described in the words ‘and the Word became
Flesh’ (
John 1:14, see Westcott in loco)
the Thorn in Paul's Flesh - ...
Now just what that thorn in Paul's
Flesh really was nobody knows. But if I have a thorn in my own
Flesh, and if I know what it is, and why it is there, and what I am to do with it-that will be one of the divinest discoveries in this world to me; that will be the salvation of my own soul to me. With all his boasted knowledge of the mind of Christ, there was not a catechumen in Corinth or in Philippi with more of a fretful child in him than the so-called great Apostle was when his thorn came into his own
Flesh. And Paul, a much stronger and a much less excitable man, said after he got his answer, and said it more and more all his days: 'Lord, not in one part of my
Flesh only, but plant those soul-saving thorns of Thine in all the still sinful parts of my body and my mind, in order that the power of Christ may rest upon me. What then is that thorn in the
Flesh of all God's best saints and of all Christ's best servants,-that thorn which still humbles, and humbles, and humbles them down, past all possible glorying in anything they are, or have ever been, or can ever be? Humbles the most heavenly-minded men in all the world down to death and hell, and so humbles such men only? What is it that Christ sends to stab His best servants deeper and deeper every day, and to impale them and buffet them till they are so many dead corpses rather than living and breathing and Christian men? And then on the other hand, what is that same thorn and stake and devil's fist that at every stab and stound and blow draws down the whole grace of Jesus Christ on the sufferer, till the sanctified saint kisses his thorn, and blesses his Lord, and would not part with the one or the other for all the world? Samson offered so many sheets and so many changes of raiment to any Philistine who within seven days would declare his riddle
Spirit - The contrast between ‘soul’ and ‘spirit,’ and between ‘
Flesh ’ and ‘spirit,’ has already been noted in the articles on these terms
Tertius - If we can suppose, with some, that the ‘stake in the
Flesh’ from which the Apostle suffered was ophthalmia, or that he was unfamiliar with the use of the pen owing to his manual labour of tent-making, there would seem to be sufficient reason for St
Nature - Swine’s
Flesh is commended for food as a gift of nature in
4Ma 5:7
Japheth - Superior in secular enterprise and capacity for rule, yet in spiritual concerns James is inferior to Shem, through whose posterity alone all revelations from heaven have come, culminating in "God manifest in the
Flesh" (
Romans 9:5)
Eldad - The 70 elders appointed by Jethro's advice at Sinai (Exodus 18) to help Moses in judging are distinct from the 70 here endowed with the Spirit to help hint as his executive court, to govern the rebellious people, and establish his authority, shaken by the people's murmurings against Jehovah and himself because of the want of
Flesh
Lattice - Though Jesus might be said to stand behind our wall; that is, perhaps, through a vail of
Flesh, to manifest himself to his people while on earth, and to look forth at the windows of his grace; that is, when in the ordinances of his word he doth distinguish himself to them otherwise than he doeth to the world; yet, through those lattices, he makes known what he is, and what his love to his people is, and ever will be, until the shadows flee away, and the day break of the everlasting morning shineth in upon the soul, and the sun of his redeemed ariseth no more to go down, neither the moon to withdraw his shining, but the Lord himself becometh their everlasting light, and their God their glory

Flesh
the Brazen Altar - This refers to the sin-offering, whose blood was carried into the holiest, the
Flesh of which was not eaten, but burnt without the camp
Finger - Our blessed Lord, in the days of his
Flesh, speaking of his miracles, made use of the same phrase
Jesus - In the Epistles of James, Peter John, and Jude, men who had companied with the Lord in the days of His
Flesh, 'Jesus Christ' is the invariable order (in the RV) of the Name and Title, for this was the order of their experience; as 'Jesus' they knew Him first, that He was Messiah they learnt finally in His resurrection

Psalms 90:6 , and particularly
Isaiah 40:6-8 : "The voice said, Cry! And he said, What shall I cry? All

Lead - Christ took not on him
Flesh and blood, that he might conquer and rule nations, lead armies
World - From this world-wearied
Flesh
God - The name is never applied to a false god, nor to any other being except one, the ANGEL-JEHOVAH who is thereby marked as one with God, and who appears again in the New Covenant as "God manifested in the
Flesh
Body - Job declares that despite the natural decomposition of his body, he will see God with his own eyes, in his own
Flesh (19:26-27). Complete redemption means the reclamation of humanness in the most comprehensive sense, and this mandates the "in
Fleshing" of the Word (
John 1:14 ). The primary allegiance of the body is not to the things of this world or to the sinful desires of the
Flesh (
Romans 6:12-23 )
Soul - In the New Testament, the term psyche retreats behind the ideas of body,
Flesh, spirit to characterize human existence. Satan is permitted by God to take health, that is
Flesh and blood, but Satan cannot take the bare life of a person (
Job 2:5-6 )
Consecrate, Consecration - Jesus has, by bursting the veil of His
Flesh in death, ‘inaugurated’ a new entrance into the Presence of God (cf. The
Flesh of Jesus is regarded as symbolic of the ‘veil’ or ‘curtain’ which was removed as the sacrificial blood was carried into the Holy of Holies
Messiah - For one of the names of the Lord Jesus in the Old Testament is, the Messiah, that is the Anointed, as well as in the New; and as it is expressly said concerning him in the New Testament, when he appeared in the substance of our
Flesh, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth: with the Holy Ghost,
Acts 10:38 - so evidently was he called the Messiah, and consequently answer that name was, and is, from everlasting, the anointed of God by the Holy Ghost, before he openly manifested himself under that character in our
Flesh
Anthropology - A person, thus, is a complete totality, made up of human
Flesh, spirit (best understood as “the life-force”), and nephesh (best understood as “the total self” but often translated as “soul”). Human
Flesh cannot exist alone. In the New Testament scheme, four dimensions of life are designated in place of the Hebraic
Flesh, spirit, and nephesh . While spirit seems to be the dimension whereby humans can cooperate with and respond to God,
Flesh is that dimension that represents human finitude and weakness. Similar to its Old Testament counterpart,
Flesh (Greek, sarx ) in the New Testament suggests physical failing and the inability to transcend the physical dimension. It would be unwise, however, to conclude that, in itself,
Flesh is evil. ) Jesus, the Word made
Flesh, was certainly not evil
Communion - Robertson Smith started the theory that the origin of all sacrifice lies in the idea of a sacramental communion between the members of a tribe and the tribal deity, which is realized by the common eating of the
Flesh of the sacrifice and the drinking of its blood. According to Dieterich, primitive man had the idea that, by partaking of the
Flesh of any sacrificial animal offered to a god, he was partaking of the god himself, and thus entering into sacramental communion with him. When he says that the Jews by eating the sacrifices have communion with the altar, he means spiritual communion with God whose representative is the altar (note that the phrase ‘communion with God’ is avoided-a true mark of Rabbinism); and when he says that to partake of a supper connected with a heathen sacrifice brings men into communion with demons, he does not accept the popular idea that the food itself was quasi-infected by demonic influence (he declares formally that to eat such
Flesh unconsciously does not harm a Christian); but he says; ‘ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of devils,’ because partaking of the table constitutes a spiritual and moral communion which is exclusive in its effect
Mediator - And would I have it in the hands of one that is near to me? here also it is, for it is in the hands of Jesus, who is "bone of my bone, and
Flesh of my
Flesh;" one who can have"compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; seeing that he himself (in the days of his
Flesh) was compassed with all our sinless infirmities
Ruler - " The context ("not against
Flesh and blood") shows that not earthly potentates are indicated, but spirit powers, who, under the permissive will of God, and in consequence of human sin, exercise satanic and therefore antagonistic authority over the world in its present condition of spiritual darkness and alienation from God
Last - Second, it can represent the “last” in a series of things or people: “Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my
Flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?” (
Burnt Offering - ...
Other "gifts" to God were of a lower kind, only a part being given; as the meat (not
Flesh, but flour, etc
Leaven - Though elsewhere used in a bad sense, leaven in
Matthew 13:33 represents the gospel principle working silently "without observation" from within, until the whole is leavened, just as the mustard tree represents its diffusion externally; so "flesh," though usually in a bad sense, in
Ezekiel 11:19 is in a good sense
Visitation - Thus in
Luke 19:44 we may understand the ‘time of visitation’ as being either the time during which Jerusalem was being critically regarded by God, and neglected, through ignorance of this inspection, to display those features of national character which would have redeemed it in God’s eyes; or the time of spiritual opportunity, afforded by the presence of ‘God manifest in the
Flesh,’ in which it might have known and sought ‘the things which belonged unto its peace
Trance - It has been thought that ‘the thorn in the
Flesh’ of St
Blow - ) An egg, or a larva, deposited by a fly on or in
Flesh, or the act of depositing it
Spirits in Prison - 8-10: “But now the giants who are born from (the union of) spirits and the
Flesh shall be called evil spirits upon the earth
End - The end of all
Flesh is come
Face - " What word could this be but the uncreated Word, which was, in the after ages of the church, "made
Flesh, and dwelt among us?" (
John 1:1-4) Surely, in these and numberless other instances, spoken of in the Old Testament Scripture, of JEHOVAH'S appearance, sometimes in the form of a man, and sometimes of an angel, the Lord Jesus is all along intended to be represented
Sycamore or Sycamine - (Compare
Amos 7:17 ) Its color is a yellow, inclining to an ochre, shadowed by a
Flesh color; in the inside, it resembles the common fig, excepting that it has a blackish coloring, with yellow spots
Sin - ...
As contrary to the nature, worship, love, and service to God, sin is called ungodliness; as a violation of the law of God and of the claims of man, it is a transgression or trespass; as a deviation from eternal rectitude, it is called iniquity or unrighteousness; as the evil and bitter root of all actual transgression, the depravity transmitted from our first parents to all their seed, it is called "original sin," or in the Bible," the
Flesh," "the law of sin and death," etc
Obscurity - The teaching about the eternal food of His
Flesh and blood for the life of the world was felt to be ‘a hard saying’ (
John 6:60)
Walk - The sinful nature in this expression is not bodily, material
Flesh but that ethical
Flesh, which refers to the sin dwelling in the Christian, as referred to in
Romans 7:17,20 , 21,23
Flood, the - 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: all in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. In Paradise the green herb was the food for every beast, every fowl, and every creeping thing, as well as for man,
Genesis 1:29,30 ; and they may not have become carnivorous until after the flood, when
Flesh was given to man to eat
Cut - To separate the parts of any body by an edged instrument, either by striking, as with an ax, or by sawing or rubbing to make a gash, incision or notch, which separates the external part of a body, as to cut the
Flesh. Ye shall not cut yourselves, that is, ye shall not gash your
Flesh
Sexuality, Human - Its foundations are laid in
Genesis 2:23-24 , where the man, seeing the woman, declares her to be "bone of my bones and
Flesh of my
Flesh"; she was to be called "woman" ('issa) because "she was taken out of man ('is) . " Now that he has finally located a fitting counterpart, a man can "leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one
Flesh. But the biblical pattern for marriage is described as being "one
Flesh, " a term patterned after expressions used to describe genetic relationships of the closest order (
Genesis 29:14 ; 37:27 ;
2 Samuel 5:1 ; 16:11 ; 19:12-13 ;
1 Kings 8:19 ;
2 Kings 20:18 ;
1 Chronicles 11:1 ;
2 Chronicles 6:9 ;
Isaiah 39:7 ; 49:26 ; 58:7 ). Since the degree of intimacy and solidarity diminishes as the size of any group increases, it becomes clear that monogamy is premised not only on the example of Adam and Eve as the first married couple, but also on the metaphor "one
Flesh" and the nature of the relationships implied by it. The reality on which the metaphor "one
Flesh" depends requires one to consider the other as though that person were an extension of one's own body. ...
Apart from the term "one
Flesh, "
Genesis 2:24 uses another term denoting marital intimacy: the verb dabaq [34:3). If the initial sexual act is that which consummates the marriage whereby two now become "one
Flesh, " it is reasonable to conclude that this represents a "channelizing" or confinement of all sexual activity to expressions that reinforce the solidarity of the marital union
Man - There is arrayed against the righteous man a multitude of spiritual forces: ‘our wrestling is not against
Flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places’ (
Romans 5:12-1491). No longer dismayed by the spiritual host arrayed against him, hitherto so often victorious over his
Fleshly weakness, the Christian became conscious ‘in Christ’ that God was for him, and convinced that none could prevail against him, through the practical operation of spiritual energies within him. Without such new motive power, man is helpless, for on his physical side he belongs to the realm of
Fleshly weakness, the antithesis to that of the Spirit to which the Law itself belongs (
Romans 7:14). The body of
Flesh is found to be, for a reason other than that of Plato’s dualism, the prison-house of the soul. Paul does not, here or elsewhere, regard the ‘flesh’ (σάρξ) as essentially evil, but as essentially weak. Paul’s Greek terms) regarded the ‘flesh’ (basar) as a genuine element in human personality, alive psychically as well as physically. the
Flesh, yielded to sin. The final redemption of the Christian will consist in the quickening of this mortal body of
Flesh-‘the body of this death’-into a spiritual body (
Romans 8:11, 1 Corinthians 15:44), a body like that of the Risen Lord (
Philippians 3:21). Paul looks forward to escape from the
Fleshly weakness of the body, not, as a Greek might have done, along the line of the soul’s inherent immortality, but, as a Hebrew of the Hebrews, in the hope of receiving a body more adequate to the needs of the soul. In view of the assertion that ‘flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God’ (
1 Corinthians 15:50), we may perhaps suppose that St. The contrast of Spirit and
Flesh is not, however, dualistic in the Gnostic sense (cf
Body (2) - At the same time, we find in His teaching a clear recognition of a duality in human nature—a distinction drawn between body and soul,
Flesh and spirit (
Matthew 6:25;
Matthew 26:41). ’ When the time was come in the counsels of God for the redemption of mankind, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity took upon Him human
Flesh by the operation of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary (
Matthew 1:18, cf. We find Him eating and drinking as a man (
Luke 24:42), making use of the natural process of breathing (
John 20:22), declaring to His disciples that He had
Flesh and bones (
Luke 24:39), showing them His hands and His feet (
Luke 24:40), and giving them the assurance that His body was the identical body which they had seen stretched upon the cross, by inviting the disciple who doubted, to put his finger into the print of the nails and thrust his hand into the wound in His side (
John 20:27). With this symbolic use of the word ‘body’ many have sought to identify the words of the Lord in the Fourth Gospel about ‘eating the
Flesh’ of the Son of Man (
John 6:53-63). But as the word σῶμα denotes the body as an organism, while ‘flesh’ (σάρξ) applies only to the substance of the body, and as σάρξ is never employed elsewhere in the NT to describe the sacramental bread, it is unlikely either that Jesus would use σάρξ with this intention, or that the author of the Gospel would have failed to use σῶμα, the ordinary sacramental term, if it had been his intention to represent our Lord as furnishing in the Capernaum discourse a prophetic announcement of the institution of the Supper
Drunkenness - Having put on the Lord Jesus Christ, he cannot continue to make provision for the
Flesh, to fulfil its lusts. ‘Manifest are the works of the
Flesh,’ wrote St. 301), who made abstinence from
Flesh, wine, and marriage the chief part of their religion, seeking salvation not by faith but by asceticism
Evil - Although the NT does assert the difference between God and the world and man, and the inferiority of the made to the Maker, it does not conceive creatureliness as itself evil, but expresses its limitation and impotence in the term ‘flesh,’ For this aspect see article
Flesh. ‘Paul does not claim to fill up the defects in Christ’s earthly suffering or in the sufferings of the Church, but in the sufferings which he has to endure in his
Flesh, which are Christ’s sufferings, because he and Christ are one’ (Peake, Expositor’s Greek Testament , ‘Col
Animal - Others have found a reason in the unwholesomeness of the
Flesh of the creatures pronounced by the law to be unclean, so that they resolve the whole into a sanative regulation. The whole passage in Leviticus 17, is, "And thou shalt say to them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood, I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and I will cut him off from among his people: FOR THE LIFE of the
Flesh is in the blood; and I...
have given it upon the altar, to make atonement for your souls: for it is the BLOOD (or LIFE) that maketh atonement for the soul. Now, by turning to the original prohibition of Genesis, we find that precisely the same reason is given: "But the
Flesh with the blood, which is the life thereof, shall ye not eat
Reconciliation - ‘The mind of the
Flesh is enmity against God’ (
Romans 8:7 ), and this enmity of the carnal heart needs to be overcome
Thorns - The last-named is found only in
2 Corinthians 12:7 ‘There was given to me a thorn (σκόλοψ) in the
Flesh,’ but in this instance the rendering should rather be ‘stake’ or ‘pale
Unity - God's ideal for marriage is for husband and wife to experience unity of life, “one
Flesh” (
Genesis 2:24 )
Mourning - Noisy, violent, and demonstrative in the East as it is among the Irish, Highlanders, and Welsh; beating the breast or the thigh (
Ezekiel 21:12), cutting the
Flesh (
Jeremiah 16:6), weeping with a loud cry, wearing dark colored garments, hiring women as professional mourners (
Ecclesiastes 12:5;
Matthew 9:23;
Amos 5:16),"skillful in lamentation" (
Jeremiah 9:17), singing elegies, having funeral feasts and the cup of consolation (
Jeremiah 16:7-8)
Heifer - If (a particle which posits a fact, and scarcely insinuates a doubt) the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer cleanse the
Flesh, defiled by contact with death, much more does the life-blood of the Messiah cleanse the conscience from dead works
Ark of Noah - It is thus referred to in
1 Peter 3:20,21 , "into which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water: which figure also now saves you,
baptism, not a putting away of
filth of
Flesh, but
demand as before God of a good conscience, by
resurrection of Jesus Christ
Apostles - And as for Paul, his Apostolic title was bitterly contested; and he triumphantly defended it on the double ground that, though he had not companied with Jesus in the days of His
Flesh, he had seen Him after His glorification on the road to Damascus (
1 Corinthians 9:1 ), and though he was not one of the original Apostles, his Apostleship had the Lord’s own sanction (
1 Corinthians 9:2 ,
2 Corinthians 12:12 )
Excommunication - In the New Testament the Apostle delivers "such a one to Satan for the destruction of the
Flesh" (1 Corinthians 5)
Regeneration - It may be remarked, that though the inspired writers use various terms and modes of speech in order to describe this change of mind, sometimes terming it conversion, regeneration, a new creation, or the new creature, putting off the old man with his deeds, and putting on the new man, walking not after the
Flesh, but after the Spirit, &c; yet it is all effected by the word of truth, or the Gospel of salvation, gaining an entrance into the mind, through divine teaching, so as to possess the understanding, subdue the will, and reign in the affections
Bird - Such as fed upon grain and seeds were allowed for food, and such as devoured
Flesh and carrion were prohibited
Sheep - A recent traveller in Palestine witnessed the shearing of a sheep in the immediate vicinity of Gethsemane; and the silent, unresisting submission of the poor animal, thrown with its feet bound upon the earth, its sides rudely pressed by the shearer's knees, while every movement threatened to lacerate the
Flesh, was a touching commentary on the prophet's description of Christ,
Isaiah 53:7 Acts 8:32-35
Trespass - " ...
In
Galatians 6:1 , RV, "(in any) trespass" (AV, "fault"), the reference is to "the works of the
Flesh" (
Galatians 5:19 ), and the thought is that of the believer's being found off his guard, the "trespass" taking advantage of him; in
James 5:16 , AV, "faults" (RV, "sins" translates the word hamartias, which is found in the best texts), auricular confession to a priest is not in view here or anywhere else in Scripture; the command is comprehensive, and speaks either of the acknowledgement of sin where one has wronged another, or of the unburdening of a troubled conscience to a godly brother whose prayers will be efficacious, or of open confession before the church
Cross, Crucify - ,
Matthew 20:19 ; (b) metaphorically, "the putting off of the

Flesh, for it is evident that there must be an entirely new beginning
Eve - That fact is emphasized in the man's joyful cry of recognition when God presents the woman to him: "This is now bone of my bones and
Flesh of my
Flesh" (v
Sex, Biblical Teaching on - ...
Theology of sex The Bible reveals an ethical God who gives humans the gift of sexuality whereby they image God when they join together to complement each other as “one
Flesh” (
Genesis 2:24 ). Within the limits of marriage, sex is for procreation of children, the enhancement of the one-flesh relationship, and the pleasure of the married couple whose love can be nourished thereby
Word - The preexistent Word who was with God “in the beginning” has now become
Flesh (
John 1:1-18 ). The creative Word of God became
Flesh; being divine He embodied divine communication
Look - ), the Evangelists afford no opportunity of making this study of Christ ‘after the
Flesh. He is Himself the Word made
Flesh—the greatest utterance in the greatest Person; and the language of the Apostles is ‘what we have seen and heard declare we unto you’ (
1 John 1:3)
Worship - Inquiry revealed to them forms of worship in the Christian Church austere in their simplicity, but hallowed alike by their association with the sacred traditions of Jewish worship and by the vivid consciousness of the presence of God to whom they could draw near as their Father through Jesus Christ, their Saviour, in the power of His Holy Spirit poured out upon all
Flesh. For we do not receive these
as common bread and common drink, but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made
Flesh by the word of God, bad both
Flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of the word which comes from Him, and from which our blood and
Flesh are nourished by transmutation, is the
Flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made
Flesh
Passover - What was left of the
Flesh was immediately burnt

Flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb
Sin - Sins of infirmity are those which arise from the infirmity of the
Flesh, ignorance, surprise, snares of the world, &c
Kenosis - Thus, while God is omnipotent (that is, all-powerful), Jesus' power while in the
Flesh was limited
Agony - There is a beautiful progression in the subjecting of His will to the Father's: "O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me, nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt" (
Matthew 26:39): "Abba, Father, all things are possible unto Thee," (lest His previous IF should harbor a doubt of the Father's power) "take away this cup from Me, nevertheless not what I will but what Thou wilt" (
Mark 14:86): "Father, if Thou be willing" (marking His realizing the Father's will as defining the true limits of possibility), remove this cup from Me, nevertheless not My will, but Thine be done" (
Luke 22:42): "Oh My Father, if (rather since) this cup may (can) not pass away from Me except I drink it, (now recognizing that it is not the Father's will to take the cup away), Thy will be done" (
Matthew 26:42): lastly, the language of final triumph of faith over the sinless infirmity of His
Flesh, "The cup which My Father hath given Me shall I not drink it?" (
John 18:11
Ant - Ants in northern Europe lie dormant in winter; and do not feed on grain, but
Flesh of other insects, worms, birds, the honeydew of aphides, and saccharine matter, exuding from trees

Law - The conclusion is that "by the deeds of
law there shall no
Flesh be justified in his sight
Hannah - But as we find the same name given of the Anointed before, as after, he became man, and tabernacled in the substance of our
Flesh, nothing can be more plain, in confirmation of this blessed truth, than that God the Holy Ghost had an everlasting love to the church, as the body of the Lord Jesus, before the world began, and anointed the glorious Head, and the church in her glorious Head, watched over her, protected her, blessed her, and set her apart, in all and every member of her, as "the church which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all
Circumcise - ” The “circumcision” of the
Flesh is a physical sign of commitment to God
Gate - 12:15, this phrase means “wherever you live”: “Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat
Flesh in all thy gates
Philippians, Epistle to the - The course meant the distancing in spirit, at every step, all that which gave importance to him as a man after the
Flesh — all was in his account dross and dung for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus his Lord
Noah - These precepts are seven in number: the first was against the worship of idols; the second, against blasphemy, and required to bless the name of God; the third, against murder; the fourth, against incest and all uncleanness; the fifth, against theft and rapine; the sixth required the administration of justice; the seventh was against eating
Flesh with life
Horse - When the Israelites were disposed to place too implicit confidence in the assistance of cavalry, the prophet remonstrated in these terms: "The Egyptians are men, and not God, and their horses are
Flesh, not spirit,"...
Isaiah 31:3
Antichrist - In verse 22 we and, "he is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son;" and still more positively, "every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the
Flesh is of antichrist
Live - To feed to subsist to be nourished and supported in life as, horses live on grass or grain fowls live on seeds or insects some kinds of fish live on others carnivorous animals live on
Flesh
Jezebel - The spiritual Jezebel of Thyatira similarly, by pretended inspiration, lured God's servants to libertinism, fornication and idol meats (
Revelation 2:6;
Revelation 2:14-15), as though things done in the
Flesh were outside the man, and therefore indifferent
Pamphylia - McGiffert agrees that malarial fever was probably the ‘infirmity of the
Flesh’ which led St
John, the Letters of - Whereas the Gospel was written “that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God” (
John 20:31 ), 1John insists that one must confess that Jesus Christ has come in
Flesh (
1 John 4:2 ).
2 John 1:7 likewise identifies as deceivers those who do not confess “Jesus Christ come
in
Flesh. His real concern, however, was to warn “the elect lady” (
2 John 1:1 ) about those “who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the
Flesh” (
2 John 1:7 )
Spirit - Perhaps the nearest to the latter is the reference by Jesus to the contrast between the strength and perseverance of the spirit and the weakness of the
Flesh (τὸ πνεῦμα πρόθυμου … ἡ σὰρξ ἁσθενής,
Mark 14:39 =
Matthew 26:41). When, in His conversation with Nicodemus, Jesus refers to
Fleshly (ἐκ τῇς σαρκός) birth and spiritual (ἐκ τοῦ πνεύματος) birth, He is not contrasting the limitations of the one with the inherent independence, as to time, space, etc. Neither the spirit alone nor the
Flesh alone can apprehend and appropriate the Christ, the Son of Man. ‘The
Flesh’ is of no avail (ἡ σὰρξ οὐκ ὠφελεῖ οὐδέν,
John 6:63), ‘the spirit’ alone has the power of conveying life (τό πνεῦμά ἐστιν τὸ ζωποιοῦν). The historic fact of the Incarnation was necessary to meet the needs of man both on his spiritual and
Fleshly side, and so we understand the force of the words of the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews (οὐ γὰρ δή που ἀγγέλων ἐπιλαμβάνεται,
Hebrews 2:16). In it, too, ‘the
Flesh profiteth nothing,’ it is the spirit that giveth life; but the invisible, intangible spirit is clothed with a visible, tangible body, while man, working through and by the latter, reaches upwards and partakes of the former (cf.
Flesh, Holy Spirit, Soul
Christ in the Early Church - Here Christ is definitely spoken of as ‘God’ (1), as pre-existent (14); and His Incarnation is described in the remarkable words, ‘the Lord who saved us, being first spirit, then became
Flesh’ (9). Ignatius speaks in significant language of the Incarnation, of the human life, sufferings, resurrection, and continued existence of Christ; and of His double nature; ‘There is one only physician, of
Flesh and of spirit, born and unborn, God in man, true life in death, Son of Mary and Son of God, first passible and then impassible, Jesus Christ our Lord’ (Eph. 125), addressing the emperor Hadrian, speaks of Jesus Christ as ‘God’ who ‘came down from heaven, and from a Hebrew virgin took and clad Himself with
Flesh; and in a daughter of man there dwelt the Son of God. The Church, he says, believes in ‘one Christ Jesus, the Son of God, who became incarnate for our salvation; … and the ascension into heaven in the
Flesh of the beloved Christ Jesus, our Lord, and His future manifestation from heaven in the glory of the Father to gather all things in one, and to raise up anew all
Flesh of the whole human race, in order that to Christ Jesus, our Lord and God and Saviour and King, every knee should bow,’ etc. To Ignatius, ‘the Eucharist is the
Flesh of Jesus Christ,’ though the false teachers deny it (Smyr. ‘There is one
Flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ, and one cup unto union with His blood’ (Philippians 4). To Justin Martyr, the Eucharist, the conditions of receiving which are belief, baptism, and a life according to the commandments of Christ, is not common bread and common drink, but the
Flesh and blood of the incarnate Jesus, by which our blood and
Flesh are nourished (1 Apol
Joseph And Mary - And, so fearfully and wonderfully are we made, and so fearful and wonderful was the way in which the Word was made

Elijah - He obeyed, and God sent ravens to him morning and evening, which brought him
Flesh and bread. "And the orebim furnished him bread or
Flesh in the morning, and bread or
Flesh in the evening. " But as there were probably several of them, some might furnish bread and others
Flesh, as it happened; so that a little from each formed his solitary but satisfactory meal
Fall of Man - Our Lord says, "Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning, made them male and female; and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they twain shall be one
Flesh?"
Matthew 19:4-5 . ) That the intimacy and indissolubility of the marriage relation rests upon the formation of the woman from the man; for our Lord quotes the words in Genesis, where the obligation of man to cleave to his wife is immediately connected with that circumstance: "And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and
Flesh of my
Flesh: she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one
Flesh
Resurrection - between the plant and the bare or naked grain; between one plant and another; between the
Flesh of men, of beasts, of fishes, and of birds; between celestial and terrestrial bodies; and between the lesser and greater celestial luminaries themselves. But language may suggest striking and pleasing analogies; and with such we are presented by the holy Apostle: "All
Flesh," says he, "is not the same
Flesh: but there is one
Flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds;" and yet all these are fashioned out of the same kind of substance, mere inert matter, till God gives it life and activity
John, the Gospel by - His essential Godhead before creation; He is the Creator; the true Light; the only-begotten of the Father (His eternal Sonship); He is the Incarnate, 'the Word became
Flesh;' the Lamb of God; the Son of God; the Messiah; the king of Israel; and the Son of man. He must be born of water and of the Spirit: that which is born of the Spirit is spirit in contrast to
Flesh, and the water no doubt signifies the word morally: cf. Man, being a sinner, his whole status as in the
Flesh, whether Jew or Gentile, is regarded as judged and set aside in the lifting up of the Son of man, the antitype of the brazen serpent, and life is found for man beyond death. " But for this Christ must die — must give His
Flesh for the life of the world. "He that eats my
Flesh, and drinks my blood, has life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day. " To appropriate His death is to accept death to all that in which the
Flesh lives morally, to find life in Him who is out of heaven, and who is gone back thither. What the
Flesh is, even in a saint of God, is set forth in Peter's sincere but self-confident assertion of faithfulness even to death
Sacrifices in the Old Testament - This consisted of a ram, whose blood was sprinkled around the altar; the fatty portions were consumed on the altar of holocausts, and the rest of the
Flesh was eaten by the priests inside the holy place. the
Flesh went back to the offerer, who ate it with his friends near the sanctuary; guests, ceremonially clean, and the poor could be invited to these sacrificial meals
Old Testament, Sacrifices in the - This consisted of a ram, whose blood was sprinkled around the altar; the fatty portions were consumed on the altar of holocausts, and the rest of the
Flesh was eaten by the priests inside the holy place. the
Flesh went back to the offerer, who ate it with his friends near the sanctuary; guests, ceremonially clean, and the poor could be invited to these sacrificial meals
John, First Epistle of - ...
Near the end of the first century the error had arisen that Christ had no real body — had not come in
Flesh: this doctrine is condemned in this epistle. ...
1 John 4 gives a test for distinguishing spirits, namely, the confession of Jesus Christ come in
Flesh, which could only be by the Spirit of God
Romans, Letter to the - Only the Spirit of God within believers can deliver them from the evil power of the sinful human nature, the
Flesh (see
Flesh; HOLY SPIRIT; SANCTIFICATION)
Temperance - Soberness (σωφροσύνη) is a right balance in all things; it is the bringing of the lower part of the nature into subjection to the higher, the
Flesh into subjection to the spirit; it means the spirit of man, guided by the Holy Spirit of God, governing the soul or intellect; then the soul or intellect, thus sanctified, governing the
Flesh; and the whole man, body, soul, and spirit, kept under control, held in hand, just as a spirited horse is held in hand by an experienced rider; moving on, not torn asunder by conflicting interests, but advancing steadily in one direction upwards and heavenwards
Tribulation - Those who marry heedless of ‘the present distress’ ‘shall have tribulation in the
Flesh’ (
1 Corinthians 7:28 Revised Version ). Part of his tribulation in Macedonia consists of fears within, while his
Flesh had no relief (
2 Corinthians 7:4 f
Unclean And Clean - The blood in which is "the life of the
Flesh" being drawn off from the meat, the latter by being presented before Jehovah became clean as food for Jehovah's people by His gift. "Holy
Flesh" (that of a sacrifice) makes holy the skirt in which it is carried; but that "skirt" cannot impart its sanctity to anything beyond, as bread (
Leviticus 6:27), implying a sacrifice cannot make holy the disobedient
Spirit - Ezekiel prophesied that God would put His Spirit within His people, removing from them hearts of stone and putting within them hearts of
Flesh that would be obedient to God's way (
Ezekiel 36:26-27 ). He then reminded them that a spirit does not have
Flesh and bones (
Luke 24:37-39 )
Selfishness - It is manifest that our Lord accepts the common division of human nature into its two spheres of
Flesh and spirit. ‘Flesh,’ ‘Psychology’; F
Circumcision - In contrast to this, Christians have the true circumcision (
Philippians 3:3), not of the
Flesh but of the heart, purified in Christ from all sin and wickedness. This contrast between circumcision of the
Flesh and of the spirit occurs in other passages of the Pauline Epistles, e
Heart - ” Because of his natural “heart,” man’s only hope is in the promise of God: “A new heart also will I give you, … and I will take away the stony heart out of your
Flesh, and I will give you a heart of
Flesh” (
Heaven - In the holiest place of the tabernacle, "the glory of the Lord," or visible emblem of his presence, rested between the cherubims; by the figures of which, the angelic host surrounding the throne of God in heaven was typified; and as that holiest part of the tabernacle was, by a thick vail, concealed from the sight of those who frequented it for the purposes of worship, so heaven, the habitation of God, is, by the vail of
Flesh, hidden from mortal eyes. Instead of the land of Canaan, we have heaven; for the earthly Jerusalem, we have the heavenly, the city of the living God; in place of the congregation of Israel after the
Flesh, we have the general assembly and church of the first-born, that is, all true believers "made perfect;" for just men in the imperfect state of the old dispensation, we have just men made perfect in evangelical knowledge and holiness; instead of Moses, the mediator of the old covenant, we have Jesus the Mediator of the new and everlasting covenant; and instead of the blood of slaughtered animals, which was sprinkled upon the Israelites, the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, to make a typical atonement, we have the blood of the Son of God, which was shed for the remission of the sins of the whole world; that blood which doth not, like the blood of Abel, call for vengeance but for mercy, which hath made peace between heaven and earth, effected the true and complete atonement for sin, and which therefore communicates peace to the conscience of every sinner that believes the Gospel
Clothing, Cloths, Clothes, Cloke, Coat - In
Jude 1:23 , "the garment spotted by the
Flesh" is the chiton, the metaphor of the undergarment being appropriate; for it would be that which was brought into touch with the pollution of the
Flesh
Temperance - Soberness (σωφροσύνη) is a right balance in all things; it is the bringing of the lower part of the nature into subjection to the higher, the
Flesh into subjection to the spirit; it means the spirit of man, guided by the Holy Spirit of God, governing the soul or intellect; then the soul or intellect, thus sanctified, governing the
Flesh; and the whole man, body, soul, and spirit, kept under control, held in hand, just as a spirited horse is held in hand by an experienced rider; moving on, not torn asunder by conflicting interests, but advancing steadily in one direction upwards and heavenwards
Circumcision - In contrast to this, Christians have the true circumcision (
Philippians 3:3), not of the
Flesh but of the heart, purified in Christ from all sin and wickedness. This contrast between circumcision of the
Flesh and of the spirit occurs in other passages of the Pauline Epistles, e
Atonement, Day of - He also burnt upon the altar the fat of the two sin offerings, while their
Flesh was being burned outside the camp. ...
The entire
Flesh of the burnt offering was burnt on the altar; but that of the sin offerings, which ordinarily was counted most holy and eaten (type of Christ our holy sin offering,
Hebrews 9:14), could not in this case be eaten by the priest properly, as it had been offered for the priests as well as for the people, and was therefore taken and burnt outside (
Leviticus 6:25-27). They who took away the
Flesh, and the man who had led away the living goat, had to bathe and to wash their clothes afterward
Repentance (2) - Paul says in the seventh and eighth chapters of Romans: ‘That which is born of the
Flesh is
Flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit’ (
John 3:6). Paul calls ‘the mind of the
Flesh,’ and as good as calls the mind of sin (see
Romans 7:17;
Romans 7:20)
Paul's Visit to Jerusalem to See Peter - But, all the time, you have never once seen your Master in the
Flesh, as His twelve disciples had seen Him. But to see Him even once, as He was in the
Flesh, Paul would have gone from Damascus to Jerusalem on his hands and his knees, "I went up to Jerusalem to history Peter," is what Paul really says. But after you have had God's Son revealed in you by means of Paul's Epistles, you will then be prepared for all that Matthew and Mark and Luke and John have to tell you about the Word made
Flesh in their day
Ave Maria - ’ And so, while the Fourth Gospel, like the ancient epics, begins with the introduction of its principal theme, namely, ‘The Word became
Flesh, and dwelt among us’ (
John 1:14), the Evangelist could add that even through that obscuring medium Christ’s disciples were enabled to behold His glory (ib. ...
After the Resurrection this veil was so completely removed, and the awe of Christ’s presence became so unclouded and continuous, that one of the Apostles could write, ‘Though we have known Christ after the
Flesh, yet now we know him so no more’ (
2 Corinthians 5:16). ...
Thereafter it became the commission of the Church to proclaim and teach and exemplify how the
Flesh may in turn become the Word, and every believer be a dwelling-place for the Spirit of Christ
Optatus, Bishop of Milevis - Optatus finds fault with Parmenian for his inconsiderate language about our Lord's baptism, to the effect that His
Flesh required to be "drowned in the flood" of Jordan to remove its impurity. If the baptism of Christ's body were intended to suffice for the baptism of each single person, there might be some truth in this, but we are baptized, in virtue not of the
Flesh of Christ, but of His name, and moreover we cannot believe that even His
Flesh contracted sin, for it was more pure than Jordan itself
Priest - Thus there will be a blessed and holy series; Christ the royal High Priest, the glorified saint king-priests, Israel in the
Flesh mediating as king-priest to the nations in the
Flesh. In the New Testament on the contrary the separating veil is rent, and the human priesthood superseded, and we have all alike, ministers and laymen, boldness of access by the new and living way, consecrated through Christ's once torn
Flesh (
Numbers 3:12-137;
Romans 5:2). Except for the nearest relatives they were not to mourn for the dead (
Leviticus 21:1-5, the highest earthly relationships were to be surrendered for God:
Deuteronomy 33:9-10) nor to shave the head as pagan priests did, nor make cuttings in the
Flesh (
Leviticus 19:28). ...
(6) Perquisites: firstfruits of oil, wine, and wheat, the shewbread,
Flesh and bread offerings, the heave shoulder and wave breast (
Numbers 18:8-14;
Leviticus 6:26;
Leviticus 6:29;
Leviticus 7:6-10;
Leviticus 10:12-15)
Transubstantiation - The French Protestants in their confession thus express themselves: "We affirm that the holy supper of our Lord is a witness to us of our union with the Lord Jesus Christ, because that he is not only once dead and raised up again from the dead for us, lint also he doth indeed feed and nourish us with his
Flesh and blood. We most assuredly believe that the bread which we break is the communion of Christ's body, and the cup which we bless is the communion of his blood; so that we confess and undoubtedly believe, that the faithful in the right use of the Lord's table so do eat the body and drink the blood of the Lord Jesus, that he remaineth in them and they in him; yea, that they are so made
Flesh of his
Flesh, and bones of his bones, that as the eternal Godhead hath given to the
Flesh of Christ Jesus life and immortality, so doth Christ Jesus's
Flesh and blood, eaten and drunken by us, give to us the same prerogatives
Pre-Existence of Christ - With regard to the closely parallel texts,
Galatians 4:4 and
Romans 8:3, it is not too much to say that the obviously intended contrast between the dignity of God’s ‘own Son’ and the conditions of His earthly life (‘born of a woman, made under the law,’ ‘in the likeness of sinful
Flesh’) is fully illuminated only by the assumption of His pre-existence. that the ‘spirit’ in which Christ was ‘quickened’ and ministered to the ‘spirits in prison’ is represented as something assumed by Him no less than the ‘flesh’ in which He was ‘put to death,’ and that, therefore, Christ is conceived as having existed before the beginning of His human life. To deduce from the words ἐν ᾦ that Christ had a personal existence prior to His possession of the ‘spirit’ in which He acted after His death in the
Flesh, seems to lay on them a greater stress than they are fitted to hear. On the one hand, there is the deliberate endeavour to relate this, through the concept of the Logos, to the God-head; on the other hand, and especially in the First Epistle, the strongest emphasis is laid upon the complete, personal, permanent identity of the Pre-incarnate with Him who became
Flesh and tabernacled among us. That ‘Jesus is the Christ come in the
Flesh’ is the test and watchword of the Christian faith

Flesh or other substance, called a fly-blow
Matrimony - Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one
Flesh" (Gen
Murmur, Murmuring - ’ There is some uncertainty as to what precisely is here meant: whether the new teaching of life through death (Westcott); the paradoxical nature of the words just spoken by Jesus, the need of eating His
Flesh and drinking His blood (Godet); His claim to have come down from heaven (Lampe and others); the apparent pride with which He connected the salvation of the world with His own Person (Tholuck, Hengstenberg); or the bloody death of the Messiah (de Wette, Meyer)
Supper (2) - The suppers of the poor were no doubt partaken of without tables or seats, the family sitting, or squatting on the ground, around a skin or mat, and partaking of the plain food (flesh being rarely used) out of common vessels with the fingers
Man - While the OT recognizes man’s relation to the world around him, his materiality and frailty as ‘flesh’ (wh
Rechab - ...
Benjamin of Tudela (12th century) says that near El Jubar (Pumbeditha) he found 100,000 Rechabite Jews, who tilled, kept flocks and herds, abstained from wine and
Flesh, and gave tithes to teachers who devoted themselves to studying the law and weeping for Jerusalem; their prince Solomon han Nasi traced his descent to David and ruled over Thema and Telmas
Brotherly Love - ” Also in
Romans 13:8-10 , he declared, “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another,” and in
1 Corinthians 8:13 , on causing a weaker brother to stumble, he wrote, “If meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no

Circumcision - Our Lord was circumcised, for it "became him to fulfil all righteousness," as of the seed of Abraham, according to the
Flesh; and Paul "took and circumcised" Timothy (
Acts 16:3 ), to avoid giving offence to the Jews
Necromancy - Cutting the
Flesh when a person died (
Jeremiah 16:5 ) or certain burial practices (
Ezekiel 43:7-9 ), acts condemned by the prophets, may allude to Acts associated with necromancy
Malchus - David Smith, Days of His
Flesh, 465), he would be acquainted with both Malchus and his kinsman (
John 18:26); and the mention of the name in the Fourth Gospel may be taken as one of the undesigned indications of Johannine authorship
Fly - ) Any dipterous insect; as, the house fly;
Flesh fly; black fly
Galatians, Epistle to the - The North Galatian theory never lacked able defenders and in recent years has been coming into favor again; its chief recommendation is that it better satisfies the strict demands of the text of the epistle especially in the phrase "through infirmity of the
Flesh" (4:13) in which Paul says that he had first preached among the Galatians because of some illness
Righteousness - %And by the deeds of the law can no
Flesh be justified before God
Book With the Seven Seals - 1, 2: ‘And be said unto me: O Enoch, observe the writing of the heavenly tablets and read what is written thereon … and I read the book of all the deeds of men, and of all the children of
Flesh that will be upon the earth to the remotest generations’; and more especially xciii
Peter, First Epistle of - ...
But with all these privileges, Christians had to remember that they had nothing in which to boast after the

Gospel, the, - It was good news to Noah (when God made known that He was going to destroy all
Flesh) that he and his family should be saved in an ark, and that God would establish His covenant with him
Hagar - He contrasts Hagar the bondwoman with Sarah, and Ishmael ‘born after the
Flesh’ with Isaac ‘born through promise’; thence freedom and grace appear as the characteristic qualities of Christianity
Epistle to the Galatians - The North Galatian theory never lacked able defenders and in recent years has been coming into favor again; its chief recommendation is that it better satisfies the strict demands of the text of the epistle especially in the phrase "through infirmity of the
Flesh" (4:13) in which Paul says that he had first preached among the Galatians because of some illness
Aceldama - The Mishna reports, that it was not allowed, for any among the Jews who died by the common hands of justice, to be buried in the sepulchre of their fathers, except their
Flesh was first consumed
Kinsman - "I know (said he) that my (Goel, my kinsman) Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my
Flesh shall I see God; whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold for myself, and not another for me
Cerdo, Gnostic Teacher - -Tertullian goes on to say that Cerdo rejected the law and the prophets, and renounced the Creator, teaching that Christ was the son of the higher good deity, and that He came not in the substance of
Flesh but in appearance only, and had not really died or really been born of a virgin; and that Cerdo only acknowledged a resurrection of the soul, denying that of the body
Kingdom - " It was typified by the Jewish theocracy, and declared to be at hand by John the Baptist, and by Christ and his Apostles also in the days of his
Flesh; but it did not come with power till Jesus rose from the dead and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
Acts 2:32-37 : Then was he most solemnly inaugurated, and proclaimed King of the New Testament church, amidst adoring myriads of attendant angels, and "the spirits of just men made perfect
Worm - , the worms that breed in putrid

Joel, Book of - When they repent, the Holy Spirit will be poured out upon them and upon all

Crucifixion - Then through either foot separately, or possibly through both together, as they were placed one over the other, another huge nail tore its way through the quivering
Flesh
Purification - One instinct was the community of blood between the god, man, and the animal world, so that, if the blood of a human or an animal victim was shed, it was an offering of their common life, and, if the
Flesh was eaten, they became one in a mysterious sacrament (W
Philosophy - ...
The writer (or writers) of the Gospel of John and 1 John deals with the contention that Jesus Christ did not come ‘in the
Flesh’ (
1 John 4:1-3)-a theory which is perhaps to be attributed to Cerinthus, a contemporary of St
Jesus Christ - He increased in wisdom" (
Luke 2:40;
Luke 2:52), which proves that He had a" reasonable soul" capable of development, as distinct from His Godhead; Athanasian Creed: "perfect God and perfect man, of a reasonable soul and human
Flesh subsisting. The context (
John 8:12, cf6 "I am the light of the world", referring to the rising sun and the lighted lamps at the feast of tabernacles,
John 7:37; and
John 8:15, cf6 "ye judge after the
Flesh, I judge no man". and in favor with God and men," (
Luke 2:52) combined with
Psalms 45:2, "Thou art fairer than the children of men, grace is poured into Thy lips," implies that His outward form was a temple worthy of the Word made
Flesh. First Satan tried Him through His sinless bodily wants answering to "the
Flesh" in fallen man. To the
Flesh and the world succeeds the last and highest temptation, the devil's own sin, presumption. Thus the lust of the
Flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life, which lured the first Adam, could not entice the Second (
Genesis 3:6; compare 1618399887_14)
Baptism - The plural" baptisms" is used in the wider sense, all purifications by water; as of the priest's hands and feet in the laver outside before entering the tabernacle, in the daily service (
Exodus 30:17-21); of the high priest's
Flesh in the holy place on the day of atonement (
Leviticus 16:23); of persons ceremonially unclean (Leviticus 14; 15;
Leviticus 16:26-28;
Leviticus 17:15;
Leviticus 22:4-6), a leper, one with an issue, one who ate that which died of itself, one who touched a dead body, the one who let go the scape-goat or buried the ashes of the red heifer, of the people before a religious festival (
Exodus 19:10;
John 11:55). "...
It saves us also, not of itself (any more than the water saved Noah of itself; the water saved him only by sustaining the ark, built in faith), but the spiritual thing conjoined with it, repentance and faith, of which it is the seal: as Peter proceeds to explain, "not the putting away of the filth of the
Flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God (the instrument whereby it so saves, being) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ" (
Colossians 2:12;
Ephesians 1:19-20); not the putting away of the filth of the
Flesh, but of the soul. In
Colossians 2:11-12, baptism is represented as our Christian "circumcision made without hands," implying that not the minister, but God Himself, confers it; spiritual circumcision ("putting off the body of the sins of the
Flesh") is realized in union with Christ, whose "circumcision" implies His having undertaken for us to keep the whole law (
Luke 2:21)
Confession - The true inspiration of the Spirit is shown in confession of ‘Jesus Christ come in the
Flesh’ (
1 John 4:2 f. 7, where he urges confession of Jesus Christ come in the
Flesh, echoing
1 John 4:2. 7): ‘There is one only physician, of
Flesh and of spirit, generate and ingenerate, God in man, true Life in death, Son of Mary and Son of God, first passible and then impassible, Jesus Christ our Lord. Paul implies that it is not the eating of
Flesh in itself, but with the open confession, ‘I am a Christian,’ that makes the difference (
Romans 14:14)
Adoption - the promises, the fathers, all belonged to the Israelites, ‘my kinsmen according to the
Flesh,’ of whom is Christ concerning the
Flesh-a passage showing the intense Jewish feeling of St. ‘Sonship in the completest sense could not he proclaimed before the manifestation of the Divine Son in the
Flesh’ (Robinson, Eph. In the same context the Apostle speaks of Jesus as God’s ‘own Son’ (τὀν ἑαυτοῦ νἱόν), sent in the likeness of sinful
Flesh, therefore pre-existent (
Romans 8:3; cf
Marriage - (See ADAM) The charter of marriage is
Genesis 2:24, reproduced by our Lord with greater distinctness in
Matthew 19:4-5; "He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain, shall be one
Flesh. " The Septuagint, and Samaritan Pentateuch reads "twain" or "two" in
Genesis 2:24; compare as to this joining in one
Flesh of husband and wife, the archetype of which is the eternally designed union of Christ and the church,
Ephesians 5:31;
Mark 10:5-9;
1 Corinthians 6:16;
1 Corinthians 7:2.
Ephesians 5:30, "we are members of His (glorified) body, being (formed) out of (ek ) His
Flesh and of His bones
Son - The words, 'Father' and 'Son,' are never in the NT so used as to suggest that the Father existed before the Son; the Prologue to the Gospel according to John distinctly asserts that the Word existed 'in the beginning,' and that this Word is the Son, Who 'became
Flesh and dwelt among us. ...
So again in
Hebrews 5:5 , where the High Priesthood of Christ is shown to fulfill all that was foreshadowed in the Levitical priesthood, the passage stresses the facts of His humanity, the days of His
Flesh, His perfect obedience and His sufferings. He is the same Person as in the days of His
Flesh, still continuing His humanity with His Deity
Excommunication - ‘To deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the
Flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus’ (
1 Corinthians 5:5), is an obscure passage. Paul thought that a sin of the
Flesh was more likely to be cured by bodily suffering than in any other way. It seems not open to doubt that the Corinthians would understand by this phrase that the offender was to suffer disease and even death as a punishment for sin; and Paul goes on to add that this punishment of the
Flesh is intended to bring salvation ultimately to his soul (ἴνα τὸ πνεῦμα σωθῇ): by physical suffering he is to atone for his sin
John, Theology of - The Word, according to the teaching of the Prologue, is Eternal, Divine, the Mediator of creation, the Light of mankind throughout history; and in the latter days the Word made
Flesh, tabernacling amongst men, is the Only-begotten from the Father full of grace and truth. Christ’s unique Personality as Son of God may be fully known from His life on earth, but the Prologue gives to the narrative of His ministry in the
Flesh a background of history and of eternity. John, but he emphasizes with tremendous power the contrast between
Flesh and spirit, between light and darkness. He gives His
Flesh for the life of the world (
John 6:51 ). Only those who ‘eat his
Flesh’ and ‘drink his blood’ have eternal life (
John 6:53-56 ). In the Prologue the contrast between natural birth ‘of blood, of the will of the
Flesh, of the will of man,’ and the being spiritually ‘born of God,’ is very marked. The strong phrases of
John 6:1-71 , ‘eating the
Flesh’ and ‘drinking the blood’ of Christ, are employed, partly to express the extreme closeness of the appropriation of Christ Himself by the believer, partly to emphasize the benefits of His sacrificial work, as the faithful receive in the Lord’s Supper the symbols of His broken body and blood poured out for men
Tatianus - Let fire destroy my
Flesh, let me be drowned, or torn to pieces by wild beasts, I am laid up in the treasure-chambers of a wealthy Lord. " We, he continues, do but follow the Logos of God, why do you hate us? We are not eaters of human
Flesh; the charge is false. Though material, none of the demons possess
Flesh; their structure is spiritual like that of fire or air (ib. The soul is composite: it is the bond of the
Flesh; yet also that which encloses the soul is the
Flesh. The soul cannot appear without a body, nor can the
Flesh rise again without the soul. Though the
Flesh were destroyed by fire or wild beasts, or dispersed through rivers or seas, "I," says Tatian, "am laid up in the storehouses of a wealthy Lord

Flesh, pp. … The supplying of wine to a company of peasants seemed so trivial, so unworthy of the Messiah, so insufficient for the inauguration of the kingdom of heaven’ (Smith, The Days of His
Flesh, p
Israel - He speaks on the one hand of ‘Israel after the
Flesh’ (
1 Corinthians 10:18), or of those who belong to the ‘stock of Israel’ (
Philippians 3:5), and on the other hand of a ‘commonwealth of Israel’ (
Ephesians 2:12), from which many, even Jews by birth, are aliens, and into which the Ephesians have been admitted (v. Paul declares, pertained ‘the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of God, and the promises; whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the
Flesh Christ came’ (
Romans 9:4-5)
Games - Pugilism is the allusion in "I keep under (Greek: I bruise under the eyes, so as to disable) my body (the old
Flesh, whereas the games competitor boxed another I box myself), and bring it into subjection as a slave, lest that by any means, when I have preached (heralded, as the heralds summoned the candidates to the race) to others, I myself should be a castaway" (Greek: rejected), namely, not as to his personal salvation of which he had no doubts (
Galatians 1:15;
Ephesians 1:4;
Ephesians 1:7;
Philippians 1:6;
Titus 1:2;
2 Timothy 1:12), but as to the special reward of those who "turn many to righteousness" (
Daniel 12:3;
1 Thessalonians 2:19). Satan is a real adversary, acting through the
Flesh
Jew - During fifty generations of the children of Adam the family of this man, or rather the descendants of a part of it, "elected according to the purpose of God,"
Romans 9:11, enjoyed exclusive privileges; to the Israelites alone "pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises, whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the
Flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Jesus Christ, our Lord, "was made of the seed of David according to the
Flesh;" and he says: "Salvation is of the Jews
Son of God - ) When it lost its savour ("for that he also (even the godly seed) is become
Flesh" or
Fleshly) by contracting marriages with the beautiful but ungodly, God's Spirit ceased to strive with man, and judgment fell (
Genesis 6:2-4). So contrary to man's thoughts was this truth that, Jesus says, not
Flesh and blood, but the Father revealed it to Peter (
Matthew 16:17)
Only- Begotten - This is certainly not the case with Justin (see above); and Aristides affirms the pre-existence of the Son of God (‘He is named the Son of God most High; and it is said that God came down from heaven, and … clad Himself with
Flesh, and in a daughter of man there dwelt the Son of God,’ Apol. writers speak of the pre-existent Christ as Spirit (pseudo-Clement, 2 Corinthians 9 : ‘Christ … being first Spirit, then became
Flesh’; cf
Food - The Hebrews also made a variety of sauces, usually by mixing the crushed
Flesh of certain fruits with other ingredients (
Mark 14:20; see also SPICES). A meal made from the
Flesh of these animals was of special value (
Genesis 27:3-4;
Deuteronomy 14:4-5)
Sacrifice - In contrast with
Flesh and bones it represents the immaterial principle which survives death (
Hebrews 4:14-160). "...
Except the parts assigned to the altar, the whole
Flesh of the sin offering (as being "most holy," i. Ruach , pneuma (Greek), is the spirit opposed to the
Flesh:
Romans 8:4-6;
Galatians 5:17;
1 Peter 3:18; distinguished from "the life of the
Flesh," it is man's highest part, holding communion with God. The ceremonies of sacrifice were:...
(1) the victim's presentation at the altar;...
(2) the laying on of hands, signifying consecration to death (
Leviticus 24:14);...
(3) slaughtering, being the completion of the penal death, whereby the blood became the medium of expiation;...
(4) the sprinkling of the blood against the altar, completing the expiation;...
(5) the burning of the
Flesh;...
(6) the sacrificial meal at the sanctuary

Flesh
Swedenborgians - He carried his respect for the person and divinity of Jesus Christ to the highest point of veneration, considering him altogether as "Godmanifested in the
Flesh, and as the fulness of the Godhead united to the man Christ Jesus
Uncleanness - There is an intense reality in the fact of the divine law taking hold of a man by the ordinary infirmities of
Flesh, and setting its stamp, as it were, in the lowest clay of which he is moulded
Thorn -
Isaiah 27:4;
Isaiah 33:12;
Hebrews 6:8;
Psalms 118:12;
Psalms 58:9, "before your pots can feel the thorns He shall take them away as with a whirlwind both living and in His wrath": proverbial; explain rather before your pots' contents can feel the heat of the thorns burning beneath, He will with a whirlwind take the wicked away, whether the
Flesh in the pot (i
Intermediate State - In some instances their faith took concrete shape, as in
Psalm 49:15 , "God will redeem my life from the grave; he will surely take me to himself, " or in
Job 19:25-27 , "I know that my Redeemer lives … and after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my
Flesh I will see God
Heresy - Thus in
Galatians 5:20 it is classed among the works of the
Flesh in company with ἐριθεῖαι and διχοστασίαι
Advocate - Jesus in the days of His
Flesh was God’s Advocate on the earth, pleading with men for God
Condemnation - That God ‘condemned sin in the
Flesh’ (
Romans 8:3) has been taken to mean that the sinlessness of Christ was by contrast a condemnation of the sin of man, or that the incarnation is a token that human nature is essentially sinless; but the previous phrases connect the thought with the death rather than with the birth of Christ
Dream - 4) in their dreamings defile the

Walk - ” It is used sometimes with a special emphasis on the end or goal of the action in mind; men are but
Flesh, “a wind that passeth
away, and cometh not again” (
Evagrius Ponticus, Anchoret And Writer - Here he was hospitably received by Melania the elder, by whom he was nursed during a severe attack of fever, and who, perceiving the weakness of his disposition, led him to embrace an ascetic life as the only safeguard against the temptations of the

Bouddhists - Among works of the highest merit, one is the feeding of a hungry infirm tiger with a person's own
Flesh
Japheth - Abraham was named the first of Terah's sons, "not from primogeniture, but from preeminence," as the father of the faithful, and the illustrious ancestor of the Israelites, and of the Jews, whose "seed was Christ," according to the
Flesh; with whose history the Old Testament properly commences: "Now these are the generations of Terah," &c,
Genesis 11:27 ; all the preceding parts of Genesis being only introductory to this

Apostle - --The apostles were from the lower ranks of life, simple and uneducated; some of them were related to Jesus according to the
Flesh; some had previously been disciples of John the Baptist
Manichees - They abstained entirely from eating the
Flesh of any animal, following herein the doctrine of the ancient Pythagoreans: they also condemned marriage. The elect were obliged to rigorous and entire abstinence from
Flesh, eggs, milk, fish, wine, all intoxicating drink, wedlock, and all amorous gratifications; and to live in a state of the severest penury, nourishing their emaciated bodies with bread, herbs, pulse and melons, and depriving themselves of all the comforts that arise from the moderate indulgence of natural passions, and also from a variety of innocent and agreeable pursuits. The auditors were allowed to possess houses, lands, and wealth; to feed on
Flesh, to enter into the bonds of conjugal tenderness; but this liberty was granted them with many limitations, and under the strictest conditions of moderation and temperance

Flesh
Romans, Book of - Paul made use of this kind of language but not with the dualism of Greek thought which opposed
Flesh (matter) to spirit.
Flesh, as substance or material, is in itself neutral and has neither evil or good nature; but a person under sin's control is “in the
Flesh” (
Romans 8:9 ), a contrast to life “in the Spirit” (
Romans 8:9-11 ). In this life (in the
Flesh) believers must rise to the demand of God's gift to us through Christ and walk “according to the Spirit” (
Romans 8:4-8 )
Witness (2) - In Jesus the
Flesh was, so to speak, ‘a transparency for the Word. In the days of His
Flesh this personal fellowship with Him was necessarily mediated through the senses, though the fellowship itself was not sensuous but spiritual. Those who through their association with Christ in the
Flesh had apprehended the life manifested, bear witness to others, that these also may enter into the same fellowship with them—the glorious fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. In the days of His
Flesh, Jesus was (according to an expression of Beyschlag in his Leben Jesu) ‘His own prophet
Drink - In another metaphor John records the words of Christ "unless you eat the
Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my
Flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day" (
John 6:53-54 )
Tears - In this interesting passage, which, while it does not occur in the Gospels, refers to Christ, we are reminded how, in the days of His
Flesh, He offered up prayers with strong crying and tears unto Him who was able to save Him from death. Death to Him, as well as to all Christians, had an awful meaning; and however willing the spirit of Christ might be to meet it, yet the
Flesh was weak, and tears might well gush forth in prospect of its bitterness
Manifestation - Our first point must obviously be that manifestation in the
Flesh of which St. Paul, who did enjoy some actual appearances of Christ, the spiritual revelations were everything; and in one difficult passage he declares that though he had known Christ after the
Flesh, i
Blood - The phrase ‘flesh and blood’ signifies the lower sensuous nature (
1 Corinthians 15:50; cf. The reason for the edict was doubtless that assigned for the earlier restriction, that ‘the life of all
Flesh is in the blood’ (
Leviticus 17:14)
Abraham - Abraham was to walk before the Almighty God and be perfect, and was to keep the covenant by having all the males circumcised (a figure of no confidence in the
Flesh), which he at once put into practice. ...
Isaac is born, and conflict ensues between that which is a type of the
Flesh and the Spirit: Hagar and her son Ishmael are cast out
John - The Word was God, and the Word was made
Flesh. And, with the Word made
Flesh, and set before such eyes as John's eyes were, no wonder that we have such books from his hands as the Fourth Gospel, the First Epistle, and the Apocalypse
Marriage - The most important passage relating to these is contained in (
Leviticus 18:6-18 ) wherein we have in the first place a general prohibition against marriage between a man and the "flesh of his
Flesh," and in the second place special prohibitions against marriage with a mother, stepmother, sister or half-sister, whether "born at home or abroad," granddaughter, aunt, whether by consanguinity on either side or by marriage on the father's side, daughter in-law, brother's wife, stepdaughter, wife's mother, stepgranddaughter, or wife's sister during the lifetime of the wife
Joshua, Book of - What answers to this with the Christian is found in
Colossians 2:11 —
Colossians 3:3-5 ; the renunciation of the life of
Flesh through Christ having been cut off on the cross; of those it can be said, "Ye are dead . Type of the Christian abiding in the place of renunciation of self, and mortifying the deeds of the
Flesh in the power of resurrection
Blood - The phrase ‘flesh and blood’ signifies the lower sensuous nature (
1 Corinthians 15:50; cf. The reason for the edict was doubtless that assigned for the earlier restriction, that ‘the life of all
Flesh is in the blood’ (
Leviticus 17:14)
Purification (2) - This seems all the more clear, when it is noticed that the exclusion of leaven is associated with the command that no fat or
Flesh shall remain over till the morning. The efficacy of the sacrifice lay in the living
Flesh and blood of the victim; thus everything of the nature of putrefaction had to be avoided
Eutyches And Eutychianism - " Theophilus had then asked if Eutyches believed that God the Word was "perfect ( τέλειος ) in Christ," and "Do you believe that the man made
Flesh was also perfect (in Him)?" He answered "Yes" to both questions, whereupon Theophilus urged, "If in Christ be perfect God and perfect man, then do these perfect (natures) form the one Son. " Mamas substantiated the truth of this report, adding that what led to the discussion was a remark of Eutyches: "God the Word became
Flesh to restore fallen human nature," and the question which he (Mamas) had put: "By what nature, then, is this human nature taken up and restored?" Flavian naturally asked why this conversation had not been reported before: it was a lame but thoroughly Oriental answer to reply: "Because we had been sent, not to question Eutyches about his faith, but to summon him to the synod. And in accordance with the perception of the unconfused union (τὴν τῆς ἀσυγχύτου ἑνώσεως ἔννοιαν ), we confess the Holy Virgin θεοτόκος , because God the Word was made
Flesh, and became man and united to Himself by conception the temple taken from her. I readily admit that the Holy Virgin is consubstantial with us, and that our God was born of her
Flesh. " Eutyches answered: "I do not say that the body of man has become the body of God; but in speaking of a human body of God I say that the Lord became
Flesh of the Virgin. Angry words were again interchanged when the reader continued: "I (Eutyches) anathematize all who say that the
Flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ came down from heaven. the Eutychians) bring in a confusion and mixture ( σύγχυσιν καὶ κρᾶσιν ), and absurdly imagine the nature of the
Flesh and of the Godhead to be one, and teach the monstrous doctrine that the Divine nature of the Only-begotten was a commixture capable of suffering
Heathen - The Old Testament was translated into Greek, the most common language of the heathen; and a rumour of the Saviour's appearance in the
Flesh was spread far and wide among them
Cain - And the narrative relates that the settled, agricultural Cainite tribe ruthlessly destroyed members of an adjacent tribe of pastoral habits; that the fear of strict blood-revenge was so great that the Cainites were obliged to leave their country, and become wandering nomads; and that some tribal sign or badge such as a tattoo, or incisions in the
Flesh was adopted, which marked its possessors as being under the protection of their tribal god
Colossians, Epistle to the - The saints were warned in
Colossians 2:16,17 against being entangled with the Jewish things; and with the occult philosophy of the
Fleshly mind of the Gentile: all of which was in contrast and in opposition to holding Christ as Head. Christ was their life, and in consistency therewith they were to mortify — put to death — all that sprang from the motions of the
Flesh
Aaron (2) - He was made a priest, not according to any legal enactment belonging to earth and finding its expression in the
Flesh; but dynamically, according to the enduring power of an indissoluble life (
Hebrews 7:16)
Blood - 9:4, “blood” is synonymous with “life”: “But
Flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat
Septuagint - Expressions unknown to the latter are intelligible from Septuagint, as "believe in God," "faith toward God," "flesh," "spirit," "justify," "fleshly mindedness
Sanctification - They are thus 'saints,' 'sanctified ones' before God, apart from the life of
Flesh, a class of persons set apart to God for priestly service
Passover, the - " The unleavened bread sets forth that sense of grace, through faith, in the Christian, in which, apart from influences of the
Flesh and old associations, he can be habitually in the appreciation of, and in communion with the sacrifice of Christ, so that his whole life is consistent therewith
Excommunication -
1 Corinthians 5:4 shows a formal assembly met ‘in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ’ to deliver one guilty of incest unto Satan, for the destruction of the
Flesh
Arians - They held that Christ had nothing of man in him but the
Flesh, to which the word, was joined, which was the same as the soul in us
Hardness of Heart - (
Judges 16:21) And where the Lord Jesus exerciseth his grace, his almighty work is described under the strong term of making a new heart, taking away "the heart of stone, and giving an heart of
Flesh; making all things new
Tabernacle - John comments that Jesus Christ was God’s “tabernacle”: “And the Word was made
Flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (
John 1:14), and Jesus later referred to Himself as the temple: “But He spake of the temple of his body” (
John 2:21)
Mystery - Thus, "Great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifest in the
Flesh, justified by the Spirit," &c,
1 Timothy 3:16
Sabellians - Watts conceived this union to have subsisted before the Saviour's appearance in the
Flesh, and that the human soul of Christ existed with the Father from before the foundation of the world: on which ground he maintains the real descent of Christ from heaven to earth, and the whole scene of his humiliation, which he thought incompatible with the common opinion concerning him
Proselyte - Not to eat the
Flesh of any animal cut off while it was alive
Passover - It is enough for us to be assured, that as Christ is called "our passover;" and the "Lamb of God," without "spot," by the "sprinkling of whose blood" we are delivered from guilt and punishment; and as faith in him is represented to us as "eating the
Flesh of Christ," with evident allusion to the eating of the paschal sacrifice; so, in these leading particulars, the mystery of our redemption was set forth

Begetting - When John, speaking for himself, says in the Prologue (
John 1:14), ‘The Word was made
Flesh, and dwelt among as, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father,’ the subject of the sentence is He of whom he has just spoken as having been in the beginning with God, and as having been God’s agent in the work of Creation. The idea—coming from heaven, being sent of God—is practically identical with that of ‘became
Flesh. John introduces at once the conception of Christ as the Word made
Flesh, and that of the regeneration of believers. Thus (
John 1:12) we read, ‘As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God’; (
John 1:13) ‘which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the
Flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God
Bible, Authority of the - But there is also a fundamental difference: On page after page of the four Gospels, the incarnate Son of God speaks in human
Flesh the words of God. They asked, Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?' Haven't you read, ' he replied, that at the beginning the Creator "made them male and female, " and said, "for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one
Flesh"?'" (4-5). The importance of this reference lies in the fact that in
Genesis 2:24 , where we find this statement about leaving parents to become one
Flesh with a wife, the comment is simply attributed to the narrator
Revelation, Idea of - It is in the fact of his teaching that we find the analogical connection between incarnation and inscripturationthe Word made
Flesh, and the word of Scripture. Indeed, we could go further: Our understanding of the inspiration of Holy Scripture is signally illumined by the phenomenon of the speaking God taking
Flesh and, therefore, actual vocal cords. Here we find the key to the incarnational analogy of the Word made
Flesh and the word made Scripture
Adam (1) - So the bride, the church, is formed out of the pierced side of Christ the Bridegroom, while in the death sleep; and, by faith vitally uniting her to Him in His death and His resurrection, is "bone of His bone, and
Flesh of His
Flesh" (
Ephesians 5:25-32. Satan's antitrinity, the lust of the
Flesh ("the woman saw that the tree was good for food"), the lust of the eye ("and that it was pleasant to the eyes"), and the pride of life (and a "tree to be desired to make one wise") seduced man:
1 John 2:16; compare ACHAN;
Joshua 7:21
Day of Atonement - ...
(d) The skin,
Flesh, and dung of the bullock and the goat, whose blood had made atonement, were burnt outside the camp. ’...
(d) The sacrifices of the Day of Atonement (and other sacrifices—‘the ashes of an heifer,’ see Numbers 19) can effect only the purifying of the
Flesh; i. But now ‘we have confidence which leads us to enter into the Holies in the blood of Jesus by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us, through the veil, that is to say

Hebrews 10:19 f
John, the Epistles of - Hence
1 John 4:1-3 denounces as "not of God every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the
Flesh" (compare
John 2:22-23). This epistle is subsequent to the Gospel, for it assumes the reader's acquaintance with the Gospel facts and Christ's speeches, and His aspect as the incarnate Word God manifest in the
Flesh, set forth in John's Gospel. His Lord's contrasted phrases in the Gospel John adopts in his epistles, "flesh," "spirit," "light," "darkness," "life," "death," "abide in Him"; "fellowship with the Father and Son, and with one another" is a phrase not in the Gospel, but in Acts and Paul's epistles
Presence - It was the Resurrection life of Jesus that provided the interpretative light in which all His earthly life was transfigured in the memory of His immediate circle of friends, and which brought home the real meaning of His dealings with them in the days of His
Flesh. It is better than the objective fellowship of Jesus with His disciples which was limited by the disabilities of the
Flesh, for as He was then with them, He is now in them (
John 14:16); but it is not the perfect communion for which the soul craves in its highest moods. Believers hold firmly that while they have fellowship with Christ in the
Flesh, this is but a dim foretaste of the perfect fellowship that awaits the redeemed with their Saviour in the eternal world
John, the Gospel According to - )...
Theirs is that of "Christ according to the
Flesh," his that of "Christ according to the Spirit. The prologue gives the keynote of the Gospel: the eternal Godhead of the Word who was made

Incest - Since one's daughter was one of the "flesh" relatives (see
Leviticus 21:2-3 ), and since one's daughter's daughter was forbidden (
Leviticus 18:10 ), one must assume union with one's daughter was forbidden in Israelite practice as well. In a case where a man has committed incest (apparently marrying the former wife of his father) without the objection of the Christian community, Paul banishes the man and hands him over to Satan for the destruction of the
Flesh and the preservation of the Spirit (v
Isaiah, Book of - The house of David after the
Flesh is judged: still there is hope. Judgements introducing the millennium, ending with these solemn words: "They shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all
Flesh
Consecrate, Consecration (2) - By His life in the
Flesh, His lowly obedience, and His sufferings, He has gained that abiding sympathy with men which fits Him to be ‘the author of eternal salvation. Because He passed through our human life, and out of it by the rending of ‘the veil, that is to say, his
Flesh,’ He is not only our representative, but also our forerunner; in full assurance of faith we also may draw near and follow Him into that heavenly sanctuary
Eusebius, Bishop of Dorylaeum - according to the
Flesh of the Virgin). The crucial question he put to Eutyches was: "My lord archimandrite, do you confess two natures after the Incarnation, and do you say that Christ is consubstantial with us according to the
Flesh or not?" To the first part Eutyches would not assent; he was condemned by all the bishops, and sentence of deposition was passed
Shekinah - It connects the personal presence of God in Christ with the earlier presence in the Tabernacle; what was formerly symbol is now manifest ‘in
Flesh
Temptation - ’ His own prayer in Gethsemane (
Matthew 26:42 ), and His exhortation to His disciples (
Matthew 26:41 ), prove, by example and by precept, that when offered in subjection to the central, all-dominating desire ‘Thy will be done,’ the petition ‘Bring us not into temptation’ is always fitting on the lips of those who know that ‘the
Flesh is weak
Bethlehem - Now Beitlahm, "the house of
Flesh
Funeral, Rites - " The Greeks used to put a piece of money in the mouth of the deceased, which was thought to be the fare over the infernal river: they abstained from banquets; tore, cut, or shaved their hair: sometimes throwing themselves on the ground, and rolling in the dust; beating their breasts, and even tearing their
Flesh with their nails
Beast - Those "that walk after the
Flesh in the lust of uncleanness, as natural brute beasts, are made only to be taken and destroyed" (
2 Peter 2:12)
Meals - Israel ate bread or manna in the morning,
Flesh in the evening (
Exodus 16:12); the Passover supper in the evening confirms this
Rest - " Here a different dimension of the meaning of rest is being pointed toa rest that is not inactivity but is certainly free of the burdens of the
Flesh and of the present, evil age
Glory - This was evidently the case with Christ when on earth: the
Flesh which He assumed in becoming Man served to veil His glory
Genesis, Book of - ...
Respecting Isaac and Ishmael, the bondwoman and her son, type of the
Flesh under law, must be cast out, that Isaac the son of promise may inherit all: cf
Colosse - This opinion rests principally upon the following passage: "For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the
Flesh,"
Colossians 2:1 ; but these words, if they prove any thing upon this question, prove that St
Manichaeans - Construing too literally the assertion that
Flesh and blood could not inherit the kingdom of God, they denied the doctrine of the resurrection
Mary - The genealogy of the Savior through her, in the line of David and Abraham, is preserved in
Luke 3:1-38 , to prove that he was born "as concerning the
Flesh" according to ancient prophecies
Jesus Christ - He who is "God over all, blessed forever," was an Israelite "as concerning the
Flesh,"
Romans 9:5 , and took upon him our whole nature, in order to be a perfect Savior
Joseph - ...

Honor - , the honor and inestimable value of Christ as appropriated by believers, who are joined, as living stones, to Him the cornerstone; (c) in the sense of value, of human ordinances, valueless against the indulgence of the

Sin - (See also
Flesh. Because of the continued presence of the old sinful nature (the
Flesh) they will not be sinless, but neither will they sin habitually (
Romans 6:6-13)
Sacrifice (2) - Peter says, ‘He that hath suffered in the
Flesh hath ceased from sin. Just as the suffering of a mother for her erring son becomes to that son redemption,—a force to make sin hateful in his eyes,—so the picture of Christ’s suffering for us acts upon our hearts; and our imitation of Him, our suffering borne for righteousness’ sake, breaks the will of the
Flesh, so that in St. The attitude of the
Fleshly mind is enmity against God (
Romans 8:7). He speaks of Christ coming in the likeness of sinful
Flesh and condemning sin in the
Flesh (
Romans 8:3)
Fall - The bearing of his distinctive doctrine of the
Flesh on, and the meaning of,
1 Corinthians 15:47-48 in relation to the Jewish doctrine of the cor malignum must be reserved for subsequent discussion, while the feature referred to in the above quotation may here be illustrated. Paul’s doctrine of the
Flesh (q. If we cannot, therefore, identify the
Flesh with the yezer hara of unfallen man, unless we leave in St. Paul’s system the antinomy of a two-fold origin of sinfulness, one individual, the other racial, we are forced to conclude that in some way he did connect the presence of the
Flesh in sinful mankind with the entrance of sin at the Fall
Heaven - Ridgley, "which are generally brought in defense of it, are taken from those instances recorded in Scripture, in which persons who have never seen one another before, have immediately known each other in this world, by a special immediate divine revelation given to them, in like manner as Adam knew that Eve was taken out of him; and therefore says, This is now bone of my bone, and
Flesh of my
Flesh: she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man,
Genesis 2:23
Children (Sons) of God - Moreover, the impulse of attraction to Christ is itself from the Father (
John 6:44 ;
John 6:65 ), and the Divine initiative, as well as the completeness of the break required with ‘the world’ and ‘the
Flesh’ (
1 John 2:16 ,
John 3:6 ), is described as being ‘born anew,’ ‘born of the Spirit,’ ‘born of God’ (
John 3:3-8 ;
John 1:13 ,
1 John 3:9 ). It fulfils the typical distinction within Israel itself of ‘children of the
Flesh’ and ‘children of the promise’: by Divine election alone men become ‘children of God,’ ‘sons of the living God’ (
Galatians 4:28 ,
Romans 9:8 ;
Romans 9:26 )
Flood, the - In contrast with the ancient Near Eastern flood stories, in which no cause of the flood is given (Gilgamesh Epic) or in which the gods decide to wipe out their human slaves because they are making too much noise (Atrahasis Epic and Eridu Genesis), the biblical account provides a profound theological motivation for the flood: humankind's moral depravity and sinfulness, the all-pervading corruption and violence of all living beings ("all
Flesh") on earth (
Genesis 6:1-8,11-12 ), which demands divine punishment. When God announced the coming of the flood to Noah he said, "I have determined to make an end of all
Flesh" (
Genesis 6:13 )
Tabernacle -
John 1:14, "the Word was made
Flesh and tabernacled among us. " The "veil's" antitype is His rent
Flesh, or suffering humanity, through which He passed in entering the heavenly holiest for us (
Hebrews 5:7;
Hebrews 10:19-20)
Priest, Priesthood - ...
First, they had the oversight of the various offerings and sacrifices in the tabernacle, certain specific responsibilities regarding the actual handling of the blood, fat,
Flesh, and special portions, and the benefit of certain parts of the offerings as their payment for performing the requisite rituals. Since the Lord was physically present within the physical tabernacle structure in their midst, therefore, the physical purity of Israel was essential to the habitation of the Lord among them (note the contrast between cleansing the "flesh" by the Old Testament sacrifices as opposed to the cleansing of the "conscience" by the sacrifice of Christ in
Hebrews 9:8-10,13-14 )
Joel, Theology of - Nevertheless, it will be convenient and appropriate to trace a selection of his themes, giving particular prominence to his most distinctive theological contribution: the expected outpouring of God's Spirit on all
Flesh. These are indicated not only by the words "all
Flesh" but also by the word "your
Historical - The Word became
Flesh. To a philosophical interpreter it remains ‘foolishness’ that the Divine Word literally and in deed became
Flesh
Moses - As regards the other two restrictions, it is clear that they converge upon a single point-the supreme necessity of maintaining the sacredness of blood in every form, as already recognized in the so-called Noachian dispensation: the believing Gentiles must no longer partake of blood either in the
Flesh or by itself (e. mixed with wine, as drunk by the heathen in their sacrificial feasts); in other words, only the
Flesh of ritually slaughtered animals may be eaten
Paul as Sold Under Sin - If even Paul was sold under sin: if even Paul when writing the Romans was still carnal: if he that very day had said and done and thought and felt what he would not if he could have helped it: if he hated himself for what came up upon him out of his heart even with his inspired pen in his hand: if sin still dwelt in him, till in his
Flesh there dwelt no good thing: and, then, if we delight in the law of God after the inward man, as he did: even if we find another law, as we every moment do find it, warring against the law of our mind, and bringing us into captivity to the law of sin, till we cry without ceasing, O wretched man that I am! and if all the time we thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord, and walk not after the
Flesh, but after the Spirit till there is therefore no condemnation to us-if all that is so, I would like you to tell me where I can find another chapter so full of the profoundest, surest, most spiritual, and most experimental, comfort
Parable - A woman hid leaven (always a type of what is human, arid hence of evil, because sin is in the
Flesh) which diffused itself unseen amid the three measures of meal until all was leavened. Christ renounced all that belonged to Him as man after the
Flesh and as Messiah on earth, in order that He might possess the church
Numbers, Book of - The state of man in the
Flesh has been condemned in the cross, and the Christian begins in the Spirit; and in that way is able to appreciate the water of purification and priestly refreshment, while finding that no good dwells in the
Flesh
Man - ...
'Âdâm is also used in reference to any given man, or to anyone male or female: “When a man
shall have in the skin of his
Flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his
Flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron …” (
Ananias And Sapphira - That the prophecy of Isaiah might be fulfilled: "They shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me; for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched, and they shall be an abhorring unto all
Flesh. While Augustine, I see, and some other great authorities, are bold to class the awful case of Ananias and Sapphira under that scripture of the apostle where he assures us that some church members are delivered unto Satan for the destruction of the
Flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus
Mary Magdalene - There are some wild beasts so devilish in their bite; they make their cruel teeth so to meet and lock fast in a man's
Flesh; that the piece has to be cut out if he is to be saved from their deadly hold. And the fangs of these five genuine devils must be broken to pieces in their heads with the hammer of God, and the
Flesh and bone into which they have locked their cursed teeth must be cut out and sacrificed before the soul is set free
Daniel - And at the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in
Flesh than all the children that did eat of the king's meat. Calvin says that when Daniel and his three companions got far enough away from the royal table they would both eat
Flesh with pleasant bread, and would drink wine also in the wayside inns of Babylon, just as they had done when they were at home in Jerusalem
Mediator - ...
If a mediator be essential to the covenant of grace, and if all who have been saved from the time of the first transgression were saved by that covenant, it follows that the Mediator of the new covenant acted in that character before he was manifested in the
Flesh. In opposition to all this, we hold that Jesus Christ was qualified to act as Mediator by the union between his divine and his human nature; that his divine nature gave an infinite value to all that he did, rendering it effectual for the purpose of reconciling us to God, while the condescension by which he approached to man, in taking part of
Flesh and blood, fulfilled the gracious intention for which a Mediator was appointed; that the introducing any other mediator is unnecessary, derives no warrant from Scripture, and is derogatory to the honour of him who is there called the "one Mediator between God and men;" and that as the union of the divine to the human nature is the foundation of that worship which in Scripture is often paid to the Mediator of the new covenant, this worship does not afford the smallest countenance to the idolatry and will worship of those who ascribe divine honours to any mortal
Obadiah - " They shall "judge the world," and as king priests shall be mediators of blessing to the nations in the
Flesh
Desire, Desirous - ) the sufferings are those produced by yielding to the
Flesh; pathos points more to the evil state from which "lusts" spring
Fill, Fill up - A — 1: πληρόω (Strong's #4137 — Verb — pleroo — play-ro'-o ) denotes (I) "to make full, to fill to the full;" in the Passive Voice, "to be filled, made full;" it is used (1) of things: a net,

Flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood which makes atonement by means of the soul
Marks - The custom of making cuttings in the

Nazirite - Wine and strong drink he drank not, neither did he eat
Flesh
Raca - To whom he replied, “Swine’s

Marriage (ii.) - According to the original Divine purpose, man and wife were no longer two persons but one
Flesh
Gospels, the - In the quotation from
Isaiah 40:3-5 , Matthew stops at the words "make his paths straight;" but Luke continues the quotation to "all
Flesh shall see the salvation of God
Servant - And although he did veil the glories of the GODHEAD, during the time of his tabernacling in substance of our
Flesh here below, yet was it utterly impossible to be a moment void of it; and oftentimes he caused it to burst forth in wonderful display of sovereign glory and power
Dereliction - ...
(2) Jesus was not really forsaken by God, but His soul was clouded by the anguish of His
Flesh and spirit, and His faith, hitherto victorious, gave way
Liberality of Sentiment - Let the fierce bull shake his head, and nod his horn, and threaten his enemy, who seeks to eat his
Flesh, and wear his coat, and live by his death: poor fellow! his life is in danger; I forgive his bellowing and his rage
Blindness (2) - ‘Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for
Flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven’ (
Matthew 16:17)
Feasts - And I venture to believe, that though this trumpet was never sounded but once in forty-nine years, and consequently few, if any, ever heard it before, or ever lived to hear it a second Jubilee, yet there was not a soul in the camp but understood the joyful sound, and felt the meaning (if I may be allowed the expression,) like the archangel's trumpet, as it will be understood by all
Flesh, when Jesus comes to judgment
People - ” This sense certainly emerges in the concept “to be cut off from one’s people”: “And the uncircumcised man child whose
Flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant” (
Clean, To Be - After the priest diagnosed the disease, he could declare a person “clean” only after cleansing ceremonies had been performed: “… And he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his
Flesh in water, and he shall be clean” (
Water - Nabal says in an insulting manner to David's messengers, "Shall I then take my bread and my water, and my
Flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men whom I know not whence they be?"
1 Samuel 25:11
Leper, Leprosy - (
Leviticus 13:3,4,10,20,25,30 ) or an appearance of a taint going "deeper than the skin," or, again, "raw
Flesh" appearing in the swelling, ch
Waldenses - That the feasts, the vigils of saints, the water which they call holy, as also to abstain from
Flesh on certain days, and the like, but especially the masses, are the inventions of men, and ought to be rejected
Palm Tree - What could have induced the whole multitude to have honoured Christ with those palm trees in the days of his
Flesh, when in the garb of a poor Jew, but the power of God overruling the whole mind of the people as the mind of one man? And wherefore the same display made in heaven, but to testify the approbation of God?...
I cannot prevail upon myself to dismiss our attention to the palm tree before that I have first remarked some of the properties of it, by way of illustrating the beauty of our Lord's comparing his church to it
Justification - "By the deeds of the law shall no
Flesh be justified in God's sight; but now (under the gospel) the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference, for all have sinned," etc
Life And Death - Outwardly its fruits are seen in holy living (
Romans 6:22) and its signature written even upon the mortal
Flesh (
2 Corinthians 4:11). Paul’s view of the body, not indeed as essentially sinful, but as the invariable seat and source of sin in fallen humanity (see article Body) helped him to think of the Crucifixion of Christ as carrying with it a destruction of the polluted
Flesh (cf.
Colossians 2:13), in the summons to the spiritual sleeper to awake and arise from the dead (
Ephesians 5:14), in the description of true believers as those that are alive from the dead (
Romans 6:13) and of false professors as having a name that they are living when they are really dead (
Revelation 3:1), in the statements that the mind of the
Flesh is death (
Romans 8:6) and that the woman who lives in pleasure is dead while she liveth (
1 Timothy 5:6)
Sanctify, Sanctification - ‘That which is born of the
Flesh is
Flesh’ (
John 3:6); therefore no number of reincarnations can produce a spiritual result. This last means of sanctification is described quite definitely in the words, ‘He that eateth my
Flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me and I in him’ (
John 6:56, cf
Metaphor -
2 Corinthians 10:3-4 : ‘For, though we walk in the
Flesh, we do not war according to the
Flesh (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the
Flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds)
Asceticism (2) - —Asceticism may be defined as a form of self-discipline which consists in the habitual renunciation of the things of the
Flesh, with a view to the cultivation of the life of the spirit. Hence asceticism may be described as the gospel of negation,—negation of the world and negation of the
Flesh, each of which is apt to be confounded with negation of the devil. They ate no animal
Flesh, drank no wine, and abstained from the use of oil for purposes of anointing
Bethlehem - The names by which it has been known for millenniums, and is still known, are expressive of the fertility of the place—-lehcm, ‘house of bread,’ and -Lahm, ‘house of
Flesh. With Ruth the Moabitess, through her marriage with Boaz, the ‘mighty man of wealth’ of Bethlehem-judah (
Ruth 2:1), there entered a strain of Gentile blood,—although we remember that Lot, the ancestor of Moab, was the nephew of the great ancestor of Israel—into the pedigree of Christ according to the
Flesh (
Matthew 1:5), as if in token that, in a day still far off, Jew and Gentile should be one in Him. With David, the great-grandson of Ruth, there entered the royal element into the genealogy of Jesus; and Bethlehem has no associations more sacred and tender than its associations with the shepherd king of Israel, unless it be those that link it for ever with God manifest in the
Flesh
Jesus Christ - God was manifest in the
Flesh,
1 Timothy 3:16 . But that Christ had a true human body, and not a mere human shape, or a body that was not real
Flesh, is very evident from the sacred Scriptures, Is. How this union exists is above our comprehension; and, indeed, if we cannot explain how our own bodies and souls are united, it is not to be supposed we can explain this astonishing mystery of God manifest in the
Flesh
Christ in Reformation Theology - ...
‘It is,’ he says in his exposition of
John 1:14, ‘the most precious treasure and highest comfort that we Christians have, that the Word, the true natural Son of God, became man, having
Flesh and blood, like any other man, and became man for our sakes, that we might come to the great glory: thereby our
Flesh and blood, skin and hair, hands and feet, belly and back, sit in heaven above, equal to God, so that we can boldly bid defiance to the devil and all else that harasses us. It was no mere semblance of a man who was now exalted at the Father’s right hand, but one who was bone of our bone, and
Flesh of our
Flesh, to whom no human experience, save sin, was foreign,—a boy who enjoyed his play and helped in little household duties, a man who shared the common lot of toil and weariness and temptation, a real man living a true human life under conditions not so far removed from our own
Animals - While Canaanite pagans kept herds of swine, the Mosaic law classified this animal as “unclean” and thus forbade the eating of its
Flesh (
Leviticus 11:7 ;
Deuteronomy 14:8 ). It eats insects, fruit, and
Flesh. JACKAL The jackal is a
Flesh-eating animal that resembles a fox
Abstinence - ]'>[1] of ‘works of the
Flesh’ and ‘fruits of the spirit,’ given in the NT are not meant to be exhaustive, but typical; nor are they given to make needless the exercise of Christian discernment. Christian sanctification takes place not in innocent men, but in sinners who have to be cleansed from all filthiness of the
Flesh and spirit (
2 Corinthians 7:1). It is the crucifying of the
Flesh-death unto sin-and it is the correlative of ‘living to righteousness,’ ‘being risen with Christ,’ etc
Adam - " And the Lord caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and while he slept, he took one of his ribs, "and closed up the
Flesh instead thereof;" and of that substance which he took from man made he a woman, whom he presented to him. Then said Adam, "This is now bone of my bone, and
Flesh of my
Flesh: she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man,"
Genesis 2:21 , &c
Parousia - There will be rewards for those whose work abides, and those whose work is consumed will themselves be saved, but as through fire;
1 Corinthians 4:5 : when the Lord comes, in contrast with man’s day (ἀνθρωπίνης ἡμέρας) the secrets will be revealed, and praise will be from God;
1 Corinthians 5:5 : the incestuous man is delivered to Satan for the destruction of the
Flesh, that his spirit may be saved in ‘the day of the Lord Jesus;
1 Corinthians 6:2;
1 Corinthians 6:8 : a time is coming when the saints will judge the world, and even the angels;
1 Corinthians 7:29 : ‘the time is short’ (ὁ καιρὸς συνεσταλμένος ἐστί), probably meaning that the interval of waiting for the Parousia has been shortened; cf. Christ’s present state is spirit, incorruptible, not
Flesh and blood.
Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God
Paul as a Believing Man - At any rate, so long as Paul is in the
Flesh; so long as he is still carnal and sold under sin; so long as that messenger of Satan is still buffeting him, the Cross of Christ with its sin-atoning blood is the glory that excels all else in Christ to Paul. "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
Essenes - 3); and that they abstained from
Flesh and wine has been often asserted, but is very uncertain. He asserts that James abstained from
Flesh, wine and strong drink, and the bath; that he allowed no razor to touch his head, no oil to touch his body, and that he wore only fine linen (which was the dress of the Essenes)
the Disobedient Prophet - If lies will do it; if flattery,
Flesh, and wine will do it; if there is man or woman in Bethel that will do it,-that Judean prophet's pride shall be brought down today! 'Saddle me the ass!' he thundered. As sure as we are made of
Flesh, and blood, and brains, and nerves, and feelings, a great reaction always takes place in body and mind after any unusually great effort of body and mind
Apostolic Constitutions And Canons - 41), which gives a vivid picture of contemporary medicine and surgery, at least as it appeared to the author’s imagination:...
‘If it be a hollow wound or great gash, nourish it with a suitable plaster; … it foul, cleanup with corrosive powder, that is, words of reproof; if it have proud
Flesh, eat it down with a sharp plaster-threats of judgment: if it spreads. cut off the putrid
Flesh; … but if there is no room for a fomentation, or oil, or bandage, then, with a great deal or consideration, and the advice of other skilful physicians, cut off the putrefied member, that the whole church be not corrupted
Agony - That He regarded the experience as a temptation is suggested by His warning words to His disciples: ‘Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the
Flesh is weak’ (
Matthew 26:41, Mark 14:38; cf. Much more confident can we be that Gethsemane is referred to in
Hebrews 5:7-8 ‘Who in the days of his
Flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear; though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered
Joab - Joab had no more pity than a tiger, and the tiger's claws were never out of David's
Flesh from the matter of Uriah down to David's death. Those two thorns in David's
Flesh-and there are more like them-so suit into the secretest depths of our own spiritual experience
Absalom - For he, saint or sinner, that soweth to his
Flesh shall of the
Flesh reap corruption
Atonement - It is a part of the same divine plan also to engage the influence of the Holy Spirit, to awaken penitence in man, and to lead the wanderer back to himself; to renew our fallen nature in righteousness, at the moment we are justified through faith, and to place us in circumstances in which we may henceforth "walk not after the
Flesh, but after the Spirit. "He has reconciled us to his Father in his cross, and in the body of his
Flesh through death,"...

Relics - The Romanists plead antiquity in behalf of relics; for the Manichees, out of hatred to the
Flesh, which they considered as an evil principle, refused to honour the relics of saints; which is reckoned a kind of proof that the Catholics did it in the first ages
Prayer - ...
Paul asked three times for deliverance from his “thorn in the
Flesh
Body of Christ - Similarly, Old Testament portrayals of God as bridegroom and Israel as bride do not stress unity nor do they portray the marriage as a "one
Flesh" relationship
Laodicea - His words in
Colossians 2:1, ‘I strive for … them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the
Flesh,’ imply that he had not personally laboured in the Lycus valley
Gods - ...
The union of God and man accomplished in the ‘Word made
Flesh’ was indirectly suggested in the bold words of the Psalmist, ‘I said, Ye are ‘elôhîm,’ and it is not difficult to believe that in repeating this expression Jesus had in His mind the realization of this profound idea, and that He desired to disclose it as an accomplished fact to those who had ears to hear and hearts to understand (
Matthew 13:15)
Sorcery - In
Galatians 5:20, among the deeds of the
Flesh is φαρμακεία, which is translated in Authorized Version ‘witchcraft,’ in Revised Version ‘sorcery,’ and by Moffatt ‘magic

Holiness, Holy, Holily - ...
A — 2: ἁγιωσύνη (Strong's #42 — Noun Feminine — hagiosune — hag-ee-o-soo'-nay ) denotes the manifestation of the quality of "holiness" in personal conduct; (a) it is used in
Romans 1:4 , of the absolute "holiness" of Christ in the days of His
Flesh, which distinguished Him from all merely human beings; this (which is indicated in the phrase "the spirit of holiness") and (in vindication of it) His resurrection from the dead, marked Him out as (He was "declared to be") the Son of God; (b) believers are to be "perfecting holiness in the fear of God,"
2 Corinthians 7:1 , i
Manes, Called Also Mani - One day his father heard in a temple a voice saying, "Eat no

Elisha - ...
So bidding farewell to father and mother (contrast
Matthew 8:21-22; "suffer me first to go and (tend my father until his death, and then) bury my father"; and
Luke 9:61-62, where the "bidding farewell" involved in that particular case a division of heart between home relations and Christ,
Luke 14:26;
Matthew 10:37;
Philippians 3:13), and slaying a yoke of oxen and boiling the
Flesh with the wooden instruments (compare
2 Samuel 24:22), a token of giving up all for the Lord's sake, he ministered to Elijah henceforth as Joshua did to Moses. He dipped seven times as he was told, "and his
Flesh came again like unto the
Flesh of a little child"; typifying the spiritual new birth through washing in the "fountain opened for uncleanness" (
Job 33:25;
Zechariah 13:1;
John 3:5)
Regeneration (2) - It is essentially the same change which Paul represents elsewhere as translation from the tyranny of darkness to the Kingdom of God’s dear Son (
Colossians 1:13), or from the state of condemnation to that of justification, or from life after the
Flesh to life after the Spirit (Ro. ’ He does indeed put in the most general form the necessity for the new birth when he says, ‘that which is born of the

Gnosticism - Saturninus, Tatian) abhorred matter, and strove to avoid all contact with
Flesh as far as possible. The world was to be overcome; it lay in wickedness; the
Flesh was to be mortified; there was a law in the members warring against the spirit. 4
) says that the followers of Nicolas misunderstood his saying that ‘we must fight against the
Flesh and abuse it
Gospels (2) - But as the number of evangelists who had not ‘known Christ after the
Flesh’ multiplied in every direction, it would very soon become impossible for the original witnesses even to instruct all those who were to teach others. Paul’s own statement (
Galatians 1:16-17), ‘I conferred not with
Flesh and blood … I went away into Arabia,’ suggests a retirement for solitary study, meditation, and prayer. Paul as it is in the Gospels:
Romans 15:8 ‘Christ hath been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given unto the fathers’; words which echo those of Zacharias (
Luke 1:72-73);
Romans 1:3 ‘Born of the seed of David according to the
Flesh’;
2 Timothy 2:8 ‘Of the seed of David, according to my gospel
Mediator - ’ We are also able to do more justice to the truth that He revealed Himself as already the Messiah during ‘the days of his
Flesh,’ and did not teach that His Messianic Kingdom was only an affair of the future. ’ This likeness is elsewhere called ‘the likeness of sinful
Flesh’ (
Romans 8:3). This is because God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself (
2 Corinthians 5:19), and those who were ‘alienated and enemies’ Christ has reconciled in the body of His
Flesh through death (
Colossians 1:22)
John, Epistles of - 115 to the Philippians, quotes the words, ‘For whosoever does not confess that Jesus Christ is come in the
Flesh is antichrist,’ with evident allusion to
1 John 4:3 , though the author is not named. ...
The points chiefly insisted on are: the doctrine of the Lagos; the form of the rebuke given to the antichrists; the references to ‘knowledge’ and ‘anointing’; the insistence upon the coming of Christ in the
Flesh, in condemnation of Docetic error; the distinction between mortal and venial sins; and some minor objections. ’ And the Epistle, as well as the Gospel, makes it abundantly clear that the spring of Christian love and the secret of Christian victory over evil are alike to be found in ‘believing’: in the immovable and ineradicable faith that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is come in the
Flesh, and that in Him the love of God to man is so manifested and assured that those who trust Him already possess eternal life, together with all that it implies of strength and joy, and all that flows from it of obedience and loving service
Faith - Paul’s experience and teaching this act of faith leads to a life of faith, so that he can write of himself: ‘That life which I now live in the
Flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me’ (
Galatians 2:20). Faith is weak in the experience of many, sometimes in opposition to the enticing power of evil when
Flesh lusts against spirit, sometimes in opposition to law as a ground of salvation, and sometimes in failing to appreciate what Christian truth implies. Hence the se who are begotten unto this living hope must look upon the trials they are undergoing as tests of their faith (
1 Peter 1:6), and must recall that, as Christ suffered in the
Flesh, they must arm themselves with the same mind (
1 Peter 4:1)
Mahometanism - Hence, that romantic fable of the angel of death, whose peculiar office it is, at the destined hour, to dissolve the union between soul and body, and to free the departing spirit from its prison of
Flesh. Paul, that we shall be changed, and have a spiritual and glorified body; "for
Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven; neither can corruption inherit incorruption. " As to the negative precepts and institutions of this religion, the Mohammedans are forbidden the use of wine, and are prohibited from gaming, usury, and the eating of blood and swine's
Flesh, and whatever dies of itself, or is strangled, or killed by a blow, or by another beast
Faith - Paul’s experience and teaching this act of faith leads to a life of faith, so that he can write of himself: ‘That life which I now live in the
Flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me’ (
Galatians 2:20). Faith is weak in the experience of many, sometimes in opposition to the enticing power of evil when
Flesh lusts against spirit, sometimes in opposition to law as a ground of salvation, and sometimes in failing to appreciate what Christian truth implies. Hence the se who are begotten unto this living hope must look upon the trials they are undergoing as tests of their faith (
1 Peter 1:6), and must recall that, as Christ suffered in the
Flesh, they must arm themselves with the same mind (
1 Peter 4:1)
Ephesians, Theology of - Paul emphatically asserts that "our struggle is not against
Flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" (6:12). The Christian warfare is with him, not with
Flesh and blood
Homosexuality - From the beginning it is acknowledged that humankind is created in two genders that together bear God's image (
Genesis 1:27 ) and together constitute a unity of

Flesh in the morning . bread and

Moses and Elijah's appearance at the transfiguration in glorified bodies is a sample of the coming transfiguration (Moses, buried by the Lord, of the sleeping saints; and Elijah, translated without death, of living saints) and of their reign with Christ over the earth in glorified bodies, as Peter, James, and John are a sample of the nations in the
