σάρξ

sárx · noun · “flesh”

Ответы

Сарх означает плоть — физическое тело, но особенно у Павла — падшую, эгоцентричную природу, живущую в противостоянии Духу Божьему.

Краткий ответ переведён с помощью ИИ и проверяется. Полное объяснение показано на английском.

Sarx literally means flesh, but Paul stretches the word to name the whole self apart from God — the old, self-centered self that resists his ways. “The flesh” and “the Spirit” are set against each other as two competing ways to live.

This is why Paul can say “to set the mind on the flesh is death,” yet also celebrate that the Word “became flesh” in Jesus (John 1:14). The word can describe humanity in its frailty and humanity in its fallenness, depending on context.

Strong's reference
