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.
