1. σαρκικός, 'belonging to the flesh:' applied to the fallen condition of man: to his wisdom,

2 Corinthians 1:12; and to his lusts. 1 Peter 2:11 . The same word is translated CARNAL. In Romans 7:14 it is 'fleshly,' morally (the state of a new-born soul under bondage, doing the things he hates); in Romans 15:27 it is 'fleshly' physically; and in some passages it is the fleshly or carnal condition of the Christian as led of the flesh. The word occurs in 1 Corinthians 3:1,3,4; 1 Corinthians 9:11; 2 Corinthians 10:4; Hebrews 7:16 . In most of these passages some MSS read σάρκινος, 'fleshy.'

2. σάρξ, 'flesh:' in Romans 8:7; Colossians 2:18 it is 'mind of the flesh;' and in Hebrews 9:10 it is 'ordinances of flesh.' This Greek word is commonly translated 'flesh,' q. v.
