In the New Testament, it is used to describe the physical substance of animal flesh that is consumed as food. The term is often associated with discussions about dietary practices and the consumption of meat offered to idols.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, meat was a common part of the diet, though its availability varied based on social and economic status. Meat was often associated with religious sacrifices, and the question of eating meat offered to idols was a significant issue for early Christians. The consumption of such meat could imply participation in pagan rituals, which was a concern for maintaining Christian purity and witness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>flesh<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>meat (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2907: κρέας</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κρέας</span></span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (cf.
