Jude 1:23

flesh

Flesh, Summary:

"Flesh," in the ethical sense, is the whole natural or unregenerate man, spirit, soul, and body, as centered upon self, prone to sin, and opposed to God. (Romans 7:18).

The regenerate man is not "in the sphere of the flesh," but in the sphere of the Spirit, (Romans 8:9), but the flesh is still in him, and he may, according to his choice, "walk after the flesh" or "in the Spirit". (1 Corinthians 3:1); (Galatians 5:16); (Galatians 5:17).

In the first case, he is a "carnal," in the second case, he is a "spiritual," Christian. Victory over the flesh will be the habitual experience of the believer who walks in the Spirit. (Romans 8:2); (Romans 8:4); (Galatians 5:16); (Galatians 5:17).
