Let’s start with chapter 1, specifically Philippians 1:21–24: Now, I think all of us would agree that what flesh means in Philippians 1:21–24 is simple earthly, bodily life. Nothing negative is implied about it here except that we can’t be with Jesus in the same intimate way if we’re here than if we’re in heaven. Over against departing and leaving ...
Here’s what he says at the beginning of Philippians 3: “Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you. Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh” (Philippians 3:1–2). Now, right here we can see that Paul is using the term in an or...

What does the Bible mean when it talks about the flesh? From a biblical perspective, the flesh is "that which is contrary to the spirit" (see Galatians 5:17). The flesh and the Spirit are two opposing forces that exist within a believer.
