Flesh » The flesh
My flesh and my heart fail: God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.
It is the spirit that gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I spoke to you are spirit and life.
All people are like grass. All their glory is like the blossom of a flower. The grass withers and the flower drops off.
A voice shouts: Cry out! And I said: What shall I cry? The voice shouts: All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of Jehovah blows on them. Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.
Watch and pray continually that you do not enter into temptation!
To avoid temptation watch and pray. The spirit truly is willing but the flesh is weak.
Thanks to God, through our Lord Jesus Christ! So then I can serve God's law only with my mind, while my human nature serves the law of sin.
I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. These are in opposition to one another that you may not do the things that you would. But if the Spirit leads you, you are not under the Law. read more.
Now the works of the flesh (sinful human nature) are apparent. They are: fornication, uncleanness, loose conduct, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, wrath, contentions, divisions, sects, envies, drunkenness, revelries, and things like these. I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that those who practice such things would not inherit the kingdom of God.

Then he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed: My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will. When he came to the disciples, they were sleeping. He said to Peter: Could you not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray continually that you do not enter into temptation! A second time he went away and prayed, saying: Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, your will be done. He returned to find them sleeping again, for their eyes were heavy. He went away to pray a third time, saying the same words. After returning to the disciples, he said: Do you sleep now and take your rest? The hour is here and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Arise, let us go; the man who betrays me is here. As he spoke, Judas, one of the twelve, followed by a crowd carrying swords and spears, approached him. The chief priest and elders of the people had sent them. He that betrayed him gave them a sign. He told them: The one I kiss is he. Take him. He went directly to Jesus and said: Hail, Rabbi, and kissed him. Jesus told him: Do that for which you came. They laid hands on Jesus, and captured him.

However I have this against you: you do not love me now as you did at first.
What can I do with you, Ephraim? What can I do with you, Judah? Your love is like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears.
They bend their tongue like their bow. Lies and not truth prevail in the land. They move from evil to evil. They do not know me, says Jehovah.
The peoples hearts are deceitful. They must suffer for their sins. Jehovah will break down their altars and destroy their sacred pillars.
Watch and pray continually that you do not enter into temptation!
You have not gone up into the gaps (broken places) of the wall around the house of Israel. You did not build the wall to stand in the battle on the day of Jehovah.
I, the Lord Jehovah am furious with you. You were so disgusting that you would have done anything to get what you wanted.
Jehovah (YHWH) of Hosts said to Haggai: These people say that this is not the right time to rebuild the Temple.
Is it time for you to dwell in your roofed and covered houses, while this house is desolate? Jehovah of Hosts said: Consider your ways. You sow much and reap little. You eat but you do not have enough! You drink and yet you are not filled. You clothe yourselves but you are not warm. You earns wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it. read more.
Then Jehovah said: Consider your ways. Go up to the mountain and bring lumber, and rebuild my house. I will take pleasure in it and I will be glorified, said Jehovah. You looked for much harvest and you received little. When you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? Said Jehovah of Hosts. Because my house lies in waste, while each of you run to his house. It is because of you that the sky above you withholds the dew, and the earth below withholds its produce. I brought drought on the land and its hills, grain fields, vineyards, and olive orchards. Yes drought on every crop the ground produces, on people and animals, on everything you try to grow.

Can you see what has happened to you, Jehovah asked, before you started to rebuild the Temple? You would go to a pile of grain looking for twenty bushels, but there would be only ten. You would go to draw fifty gallons of wine from a vat and find only twenty.
Be watchful, and strengthen the things that remain that are at the point of death: for I have not found your works perfect (completed) before God.
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot. Because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.
