FLESH IS WEAK "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." (Matthew 26:41 KJV) "Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak." (Mark 14:38 KJV) Note: The Greek word PROTHUMOS is translated as "willing" in Matthew 26:41 and as "ready" in Mark 14:38. But it's the same one Greek word in both places. It means ready and willing. FLESH IS PROFITLESS "It is the spirit that quickeneth (gives life); the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:63 KJV) FLESH IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED "With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah." (2 Chronicles 32:8 KJV) "Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD." (Jeremiah 17:5 KJV) Please note the concept of "arm of the flesh," as in the statements, "We should not rely on the arm of the flesh," and "He trusted too much on the arm of the flesh." This is a useful concept: "arm of the flesh." NEVERTHELESS, GOD IS GOD OF THE FLESH ALSO; AND HE USES IT FOR HIS OWN PURPOSES "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?" (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV) "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:" (Joel 2:28 KJV) "All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust." (Job 34:15 KJV)
