Usage

The Greek word "sarx" primarily refers to the physical body or flesh of a living creature, often emphasizing the human body. In the New Testament, "sarx" is used in various contexts, including: - The physical body or human nature (e.g., John 1:14, "The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us"). - Human nature in its frailty and susceptibility to sin (e.g., Romans 7:18, "I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh"). - The sinful nature or the aspect of humanity that is opposed to the Spirit (e.g., Galatians 5:17, "For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit").
