Flesh » The flesh
Consumed hath been my flesh and my heart, The rock of my heart and my portion is God to the age.
the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;
because all flesh is as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; wither did the grass, and the flower of it fell away,
A voice is saying, 'Call,' And he said, 'What do I call?' All flesh is grass, and all its goodliness is As a flower of the field: Withered hath grass, faded the flower, For the Spirit of Jehovah blew upon it, Surely the people is grass; Withered hath grass, faded the flower, But a word of our God riseth for ever.
watch, and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.'
Watch ye and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.'
I thank God -- through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin.
And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete; for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will -- these ye may not do; and if by the Spirit ye are led, ye are not under law. read more.
