In the New Testament, besides these it is also used to denote the sinful element of human nature as opposed to the "Spirit" (Romans 6:19; Matthew 16:17 ). Being "in the flesh" means being unrenewed (Romans 7:5; 8:8,9 ), and to live "according to the flesh" is to live and act sinfully (Romans 8:4,5,7,12 ).
This word also denotes the human nature of Christ (John 1:14 , "The Word was made flesh." Compare also 1 Timothy 3:16; Romans 1:3 ).
