FLESH
F


Flesh is the soft covering of tissue and skin that covers the animal skeleton. Under God's law through Moses, Israel were permitted to eat the flesh of 'clean' animals after it had been drained of blood. Jews call this kosher meat.

'Flesh' is frequently used as a word to represent human nature in all its weakness. When, just before the crucifixion, the disciples fell asleep in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus told them: "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." (Matthew 26:41, KJV).

"So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the spirit of God dwell in you." (Romans 8:8-9, KJV).

It is worth noting that the KJV in the New Testament translates the original Greek word sarx as 'flesh' 147 times. Modern versions usually change this to 'body' or 'sinful nature' or some other equivalent word or phrase, not always with precisely the same meaning.
