3: 3 | For it is we who are the circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh (sarx) |

1 Corinthians
1: 26 | Consider your own call, brothers and sisters: not many of you were wise according to the flesh (sarx), not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. |
1: 29 | so that all flesh (sarx) might not boast in the presence of God. |

2 Corinthians
1: 17 | Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans according to flesh (sarx), ready to say "Yes, yes" and "No, no" at the same time? |

Galatians
1: 16 | to reveal his Son to me, so that I might proclaim him among the Gentiles, I did not confer with any flesh (sarx) and blood, |
2: 16 | yet we know that a person is justified not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by doing the works of the law, because no flesh (sarx) will be justified by the works of the law. |
2: 20 | and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh (sarx) I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. |
3: 3 | Are you so foolish? Having started with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh (sarx)? |
4: 13 | You know that it was because of infirmity of the flesh (sarx) that I first announced the gospel to you; |

4: 23 | One, the child of the slave, was born according to the flesh (sarx); the other, the child of the free woman, was born through the promise. |

5: 13 | For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for flesh (sarx), but through love become slaves to one another. |
5: 16 | Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh (sarx). |
5: 17 | For what the flesh (sarx) desires is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to the flesh (sarx); for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you want. |
5: 19 | Now the works of the flesh (sarx) are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, |
5: 24 | And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh (sarx) with its passions and desires. |
6: 8 | If you sow to your own flesh (sarx), you will reap corruption from the flesh (sarx); but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. |
6: 12 | It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh (sarx) that try to compel you to be circumcised - only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. |

Romans
1: 3 | the gospel concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh (sarx) |
2: 28 | For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something external and in the flesh (sarx) |
3: 20 | For "no flesh (sarx) will be justified in his sight" by deeds prescribed by the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin. |
4: 1 | What then are we to say was gained by Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh (sarx)? |
6: 19 | I am speaking in human terms because of the limitations of your flesh (sarx). For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification. |
7: 5 | While we were living in the flesh (sarx), our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. |
7: 18 | For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh (sarx). I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. |
7: 25 | Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I am a slave to the law of God, but with my flesh (sarx) I am a slave to the law of sin. |
8: 3 | For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh (sarx), could not do: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh (sarx), and to deal with sin, he condemned sin in the flesh (sarx), |
8: 4 | so that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh (sarx) but according to the Spirit. |
8: 5 | For those who live according to the flesh (sarx) set their minds on the things of the flesh (sarx), but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. |
8: 6 | To set the mind on the flesh (sarx) is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. |
8: 7 | For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh (sarx) is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law - indeed it cannot, |
8: 8 | and those who are in the flesh (sarx) cannot please God. |
8: 9 | But you are not in the flesh (sarx); you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. |
8: 12 | So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh (sarx), to live according to the flesh (sarx) - |
8: 13 | for if you live according to the flesh (sarx), you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. |
9: 3 | For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my own people, my kindred according to the flesh (sarx). |
9: 5 | to them belong the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh (sarx), comes the Messiah, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen. |
9: 8 | This means that it is not the children of the flesh (sarx) who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as descendants. |
11: 14 | in order to make those of my flesh (sarx) jealous, and thus save some of them. |
13: 14 | Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh (sarx), to gratify its desires. |
Philemon
1: 16 | no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a beloved brother - especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh (sarx) and in the Lord. |
Colossians
1: 22 | he has now reconciled in his flesh (sarx)ly body through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him |
1: 24 | I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh (sarx) I am completing what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church. |
2: 1 | For I want you to know how much I am struggling for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for all who have not seen my face in flesh. (sarx) |
2: 5 | For though I am absent in flesh (sarx), yet I am with you in spirit, and I rejoice to see your morale and the firmness of your faith in Christ. |
2: 11 | In him also you were circumcised with a spiritual circumcision, by putting off the body of the flesh (sarx) in the circumcision of Christ; |
2: 13 | And when you were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh (sarx), God made you alive together with him, when he forgave us all our trespasses, |
2: 18 | Do not let anyone disqualify you, insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, dwelling on visions, puffed up without cause by a thinking from his flesh (sarx), |
2: 23 | These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-imposed piety, humility, and severe treatment of the body, but they are of no value in checking indulgence of flesh (sarx). |
3: 22 | Slaves, obey your masters according to flesh (sarx) in everything, not only while being watched and in order to please them, but wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord. |
Ephesians
2: 3 | All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh (sarx), following the desires of flesh (sarx) and senses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else. |
2: 11 | So then, remember that at one time you Gentiles in flesh (sarx), called "the uncircumcision" by those who are called "the circumcision" - a physical circumcision made in the flesh (sarx) by human hands - |
2: 14 | For he is our peace; in his flesh (sarx) he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us. |
5: 29 | For no one ever hates his own flesh (sarx), but he nourishes and tenderly cares for it, just as Christ does for the church, |
5: 31 | "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh (sarx)." |
6: 5 | Slaves, obey your masters according to flesh (sarx) with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as you obey Christ; |
6: 12 | For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh (sarx), but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. |
1 Timothy
3: 16 | Without any doubt, the mystery of our religion is great: He was revealed in flesh (sarx), vindicated in spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among Gentiles, believed in throughout the world, taken up in glory. |
Hebrews
2: 14 | Since, therefore, the children share flesh (sarx) and blood, he himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, |
5: 7 | In the days of his flesh (sarx), Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. |
9: 10 | but deal only with food and drink and various baptisms, regulations for the flesh (sarx) imposed until the time comes to set things right. |
9: 13 | For if the blood of goats and bulls, with the sprinkling of the ashes of a heifer, sanctifies those who have been defiled so that their flesh (sarx) is purified, |
10: 20 | by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh (sarx)), |
12: 9 | Moreover, we had parents of flesh (sarx) to discipline us, and we respected them. Should we not be even more willing to be subject to the Father of spirits and live? |
James
5: 3 | Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you, and it will eat your flesh (sarx) like fire. You have laid up treasure for the last days. |
1 Peter
1: 24 | For "All flesh (sarx) is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, |
3: 18 | For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh (sarx), but made alive in the spirit, |
3: 21 | And baptism, which this prefigured, now saves you - not as a removal of dirt from the flesh (sarx), but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, |
4: 1 | Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh (sarx), arm yourselves also with the same intention (for whoever has suffered in the flesh (sarx) has finished with sin), |
4: 2 | so as to live for the rest of your earthly life no longer by desires of flesh (sarx) but by the will of God. |
4: 6 | For this is the reason the gospel was proclaimed even to the dead, so that, though they had been judged in the flesh (sarx) as everyone is judged, they might live in the spirit as God does. |
2 Peter
2: 10 | especially those who indulge their flesh (sarx) in depraved lust, and who despise authority. Bold and willful, they are not afraid to slander the glorious ones, |
2: 18 | For they speak bombastic nonsense, and with licentious desires of the flesh (sarx) they entice people who have just escaped from those who live in error. |
Jude
1: 7 | Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which, in the same manner as they, indulged in sexual immorality and pursued other flesh (sarx), serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. |
1: 8 | Yet in the same way these dreamers also defile the flesh (sarx), reject authority, and slander the glorious ones. |
1: 23 | save others by snatching them out of the fire; and have mercy on still others with fear, hating even the tunic defiled by their flesh (sarx). |
Revelation
17: 16 | And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the whore; they will make her desolate and naked; they will devour her flesh (sarx) and burn her up with fire. |
19: 18 | to eat the flesh (sarx) of kings, the flesh (sarx) of captains, the flesh (sarx) of the mighty, the flesh (sarx) of horses and their riders - flesh (sarx) of all, both free and slave, both small and great." |
19: 21 | And the rest were killed by the sword of the rider on the horse, the sword that came from his mouth; and all the birds were gorged with their flesh (sarx). |
