'Flesh' in the Bible

concerning His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh

For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, and true circumcision is not something visible in the flesh.

For no one will be justified in His sight by the works of the law, because the knowledge of sin comes through the law.

What then can we say that Abraham, our physical ancestor, has found?

I am using a human analogy because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you offered the parts of yourselves as slaves to moral impurity, and to greater and greater lawlessness, so now offer them as slaves to righteousness, which results in sanctification.

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions operated through the law in every part of us and bore fruit for death.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am made out of flesh, sold into sin’s power.

For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For the desire to do what is good is with me, but there is no ability to do it.

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself am a slave to the law of God, but with my flesh, to the law of sin.

What the law could not do since it was limited by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours under sin’s domain, and as a sin offering,

in order that the law’s requirement would be accomplished in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

For those who live according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, about the things of the Spirit.

For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace.

For the mind-set of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit itself to God’s law, for it is unable to do so.

Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

So then, brothers, we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh,

for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
