Flesh
is the soft covering of tissue and skin that covers the animal
skeleton. Under God's law through Moses, Israel were permitted
to eat the flesh of 'clean' animals after it had been drained
of blood. Jews call this kosher meat.
'Flesh' is frequently used as a word to represent human nature
in all its weakness. When, just before the crucifixion, the
disciples fell asleep in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus told
them: "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is
weak." (Matthew 26:41, KJV).
"So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that
the spirit of God dwell in you." (Romans 8:8-9, KJV).
It is worth noting that the KJV in the New Testament translates
the original Greek word sarx as 'flesh' 147 times. Modern
versions usually change this to 'body' or 'sinful nature'
or some other equivalent word or phrase, not always with precisely
the same meaning.
