Definition: flesh, body, human nature, materiality; kindred.
4561 sárksproperly, flesh ("carnal"), merely of
human origin or empowerment.
[4561 /sárks ("flesh") is not always evil in
Scripture. Indeed, it is used positively in relation to sexual intercourse in
marriage (Eph 5:31) – as well as for the sinless human body of Jesus (Jn 1:14;
1 Jn 4:2,3). Indeed, flesh (what is physical) is necessary for the body to live
out the faith the Lord works in (Gal 2:20).]
4561 (sarks) is generally negative, referring to making
decisions (actions) according to self – i.e. done apart from faith (independent
from God's inworking). Thus what is "of the flesh (carnal)" is by
definition displeasing to the Lord – even things that seem
"respectable!" In short, flesh generally relates to unaided human
effort, i.e. decisions (actions) that originate from self or are empowered by
self. This is carnal ("of the flesh") and proceeds out of the
untouched (unchanged) part of us – i.e. what is not transformed by God.
