It often carries a connotation of being worldly or carnal, in contrast to spiritual or divine. In a broader sense, it can refer to human nature in its weakness and susceptibility to sin.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "flesh" (sarx) was often associated with the physical and material aspects of life, as opposed to the spiritual or intellectual. The early Christian writers, including the Apostle Paul, used this term to highlight the tension between living according to the flesh and living according to the Spirit. This dichotomy was central to early Christian teachings on sanctification and moral living.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 4560</b> <i>sárkinos</i> (an adjective, derived from <a href="/greek/4561.htm">4561</a> <i>/sárks</i>, "flesh") – properly, of flesh (human), which lacks the heavy derogatory sense of <a href="/greek/4559.htm">4559</a> <i>/sarkikós</i> ("carnal"). <a href="/greek/4561.htm">See 4561</a> <i>sarks</i> ("flesh").</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4561.htm">sarx</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>of the flesh<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>flesh (1), human (1), men of flesh (1), physical (1).<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 4560: σάρκινος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σάρκινος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">σαρκίνη</span>, <span class="greek2">σάρκινον</span> (<span class="greek2">σάρξ</span>) (<span class="abbreviation">Aristophanes</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Aristotle</span>, others), <span class="accented">fleshy,</span> Latin<span class="latin">carneus</span>, i. e. <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">consisting of flesh, composed of flesh</span> (for proparoxytones ending in <span class="greek2">(ινος</span> generally denote the material of which a thing is made, cf.
