Yes,
yes” when I really mean “No, no”?

beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence,

reveal his Son in me, that I might
preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with
flesh and blood:

flesh and blood,

welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus Himself.

bondwoman was born after the
flesh; but he of the
freewoman was by promise.
His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born through the promise.

lust of the
flesh.

flesh.

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

circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you
circumcised, that they may glory in your
flesh.

flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the

fulfilling the cravings of our
flesh and
indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.

flesh, who are called

flesh the

obedient to them that are your masters according to the
flesh, with fear and

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

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

abide in the
flesh is more needful for you.

circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and

circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the
flesh—
Though I might also have confidence in the
flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath
whereof he might trust in the
flesh, I more:

flesh, I have more:
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Who now
rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my
flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:
Now I
rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my
flesh what is lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions for the sake of His body, which is the church.
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;

Laodicea, and for all who have not met me face to face,
For though I be absent in the
flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the
stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

In Him you were also
circumcised, in the putting off of your sinful nature, with the
circumcision performed by Christ and not by human hands.

uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He
forgave us all our trespasses,
Do not let
anyone who delights in false
humility and the worship of angels
disqualify you with speculation about what he has seen. Such a person is
puffed up without basis by his unspiritual mind.
Which things have indeed a
shew of wisdom in will worship, and
humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the
flesh.

humility, and their harsh treatment of the body; but they are of no value against the
indulgence of the
flesh.
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the
flesh; not with
eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

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

godliness is great: He appeared in the
flesh, was
vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, was taken up in glory.
Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

veil, that is to say, his
flesh;
by the new and living way opened for us through the
curtain of His body,
Furthermore we have had fathers of our
flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

cankered; and the
rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your
flesh as it were fire. Ye have

flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass
withers and the flowers fall,

beseech you as strangers and pilgrims,
abstain from
fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to
abstain from the desires of the
flesh, which war against your soul.
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the
flesh, but
quickened by the Spirit:
For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit,
The like figure
whereunto even baptism
doth also now save us (not the putting away of the
filth of the
flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of
dirt from the body, but the
pledge of a clear conscience toward God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the
flesh, arm
yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the
flesh hath ceased from sin;
Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm
yourselves with the same
resolve, because
anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.

But chiefly them that walk after the
flesh in the
lust of uncleanness, and
despise government.
Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of
dignities.
Such punishment is specially reserved for those who
indulge the corrupt desires of the
flesh and
despise authority. Bold and self-willed, they are unafraid to
slander glorious beings.
For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they
allure through the lusts of the
flesh, through much
wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
With lofty but empty words, they appeal to the
sensual passions of the
flesh and
entice those who are just escaping from others who live in error.
For all that is in the world, the
lust of the
flesh, and the
lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is of God:
By this you will know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of
antichrist,
whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
and every spirit that does not
confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the
antichrist, which you have heard is coming and which is already in the world at this time.
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who
confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh. This is a
deceiver and an
antichrist.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to
confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the
flesh. Any such person is the
deceiver and the
antichrist.
Even as
Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to
fornication, and going after strange
flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the
vengeance of eternal fire.
In like manner,
Sodom and
Gomorrah and the cities around them, who
indulged in sexual immorality and pursued strange
flesh, are on display as an example of those who
sustain the punishment of eternal fire.
Yet in the same way these dreamers
defile their bodies,
reject authority, and
slander glorious beings.
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire;

stained by the
flesh.

flesh and burn her with fire.

everyone slave and free, small and great.”

gorged themselves on their
flesh.

flesh consorteth according to kind, and a man will
cleave to his like.
