FLESH (SINFUL NATURE), SUMMARY

Jude 1:23
Save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.

Flesh, Summary: "Flesh," in the ethical sense, is the whole natural or unregenerate man, spirit, soul, and body, as centered upon self, prone to sin, and opposed to God. (Rom 7:18). The regenerate man is not "in the sphere of the flesh," but in the sphere of the Spirit, (Rom 8:9), but the flesh is still in him, and he may, according to his choice, "walk after the flesh" or "in the Spirit". (1Co 3:1-4); (Gal 5:16); (Gal 5:17). In the first case, he is a "carnal," in the second case, he is a "spiritual," Christian. Victory over the flesh will be the habitual experience of the believer who walks in the Spirit. (Rom 8:2); (Rom 8:4); (Gal 5:16); (Gal 5:17).
