“Flesh (σάρξ)” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
This term is used in various senses in scripture. The principal are ...
1. The estate of man: "all flesh shall see the salvation of God" (Luke 3:6); "the Word became flesh" (John 1:14).
2. The material part of man and of animals: "all flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts" (1 Cor. 15:39).
3. The same kindred: "thou art my bone and my flesh" (Gen. 29:14); "he is our brother, and our flesh" (Gen. 37:27).
4. Union: "they shall be one flesh" (Gen. 2:24; Eph. 5:29-31).
5. Man's nature, but corrupted by sin: "that which is born of the flesh is flesh" (John 3:6); "sinful flesh" (Rom. 8:3).
6. The state which characterizes man before knowing deliverance: (Rom. 7; Rom. 8:8-9).
7. Though no longer the state of the Christian, yet the flesh is in him, and is antagonistic to the Spirit, "the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye should not do the things that ye would" (Gal. 5:17). Thus the Spirit resists in the Christian the accomplishment of the lusts of the flesh.
“Fleshly” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
1. σαρκικός, “belonging to the flesh:” applied to the fallen condition of man: to his wisdom (2 Cor. 1:12); and to his lusts (1 Pet. 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 and Hebrews 7:16. In most of these passages some MSS read σάρκινος, “fleshy.”
2. σάρξ, “flesh:” in Romans 8:7 and 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”.
