The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can he give us this flesh to eat?

Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Unless ye shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of man, and drunk his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.

He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal, and I will raise him up at the last day:

for my flesh is truly food and my blood is truly drink.

He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him.

It is the Spirit which quickens, the flesh profits nothing: the words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither that circumcision which is outward in flesh;

Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified before him; for by law is knowledge of sin.

What shall we say then that Abraham our father according to flesh has found?

I speak humanly on account of the weakness of your flesh. For even as ye have yielded your members in bondage to uncleanness and to lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now yield your members in bondage to righteousness unto holiness.

For when we were in the flesh the passions of sins, which were by the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit to death;

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right I find not.

I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself with the mind serve God's law; but with the flesh sin's law.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh,

in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh but according to Spirit.

For they that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh; and they that are according to Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace.

Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be:

and they that are in flesh cannot please God.

But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not the Spirit of Christ he is not of him:

So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to flesh;

for if ye live according to flesh, ye are about to die; but if, by the Spirit, ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live:

whose are the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, is the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

if by any means I shall provoke to jealousy them which are my flesh, and shall save some from among them.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take forethought for the flesh to fulfil its lusts.

Where is the wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

For consider your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things;

so that no flesh should boast before God.

Let no one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise.

But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.

Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?

for we who live are always delivered unto death on account of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh;

So that we henceforth know no one according to flesh; but if even we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know him thus no longer.

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God's fear.

For indeed, when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted in every way; without combats, within fears.

but I beseech that present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I think to be daring towards some who think of us as walking according to flesh.

For walking in flesh, we do not war according to flesh.

Since many boast according to flesh, I also will boast.

And that I might not be exalted by the exceeding greatness of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn for the flesh, a messenger of Satan that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted.

was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,

but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law nor but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of the faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.

I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, I, but Christ lives in me; but in that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

Are ye so senseless? having begun in Spirit, are ye going to be made perfect in flesh?

But he that was of the maid servant was born according to flesh, and he that was of the free woman through the promise.

But as then he that was born according to flesh persecuted him that was born according to Spirit, so also it is now.

For ye have been called to liberty, brethren; only do not turn liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,

But they that are of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.

For he that sows to his own flesh, shall reap corruption from the flesh; but he that sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit shall reap eternal life:

As many as desire to have a fair appearance in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ.

For neither do they that are circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.

among whom we also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:

Wherefore remember that ye, once nations in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in the flesh done with the hand;

having annulled the enmity in his flesh, the law of commandments in ordinances, that he might form the two in himself into one new man, making peace;

and filthiness and foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient; but rather thanksgiving.

For this reason be not foolish, but understanding what is the will of the Lord.

for we are members of his body; we are of his flesh, and of his bones.

Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.

Bondmen, obey masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as to the Christ;

because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against authorities, against the universal lords of this darkness, against spiritual power of wickedness in the heavenlies.

but if to live in flesh is my lot, this is for me worth the while: and what I shall choose I cannot tell.
