Team definition
Flesh, the soft substance of the body; the body; human beings as mortal and weak (Abbott-Smith; Dodson). In an ethical sense, especially in Paul, the flesh as the seat and vehicle of sinful desires, set against the mind (Rom 7:25) and the Spirit (Rom 8:4–9; Gal 5:16–17) (Abbott-Smith). In Rom 7: ἐν τῇ σαρκί (7:5), ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου (7:18), and τῇ σαρκί opposite τῷ νοΐ (7:25). See note.language.Rom.7.14-Rom.7.25.sarkinos-nomos.
