  5      I, 24|            freed from the soul, the flesh sins no more. So that in

  9      I, 24|          upon you; and your painful flesh produces a crop of all sorts
 10      I, 28|       salvation wholly plunges that flesh which is beyond the pale

 13      I, 29|          AND HIS OWN MONTANISM.~The flesh is not, according to Marcion,
 14      I, 29|           did not all receive their flesh from nuptial union. Now,

 23    III, 8 |         that Christ was come in the flesh; not that they did this
 24    III, 8 |             nor the restorer of the flesh; and for this very reason,
 25    III, 8 |             incarnate without being flesh, human without being man,
 26    III, 8 |        spirit with the error of the flesh, could he combine within
 27    III, 8 |             however, Christ's being flesh is now discovered to be
 28    III, 8 |       things which were done by the flesh of Christ were done untruly,

 30    III, 8 |             proper suffering of the flesh, which returns through death
 31    III, 8 |        because of the denial of His flesh, there will be no certainty

 34    III, 9 |           there was only a putative flesh, but one of a true and solid
 35    III, 9 |           and actions in a putative flesh, it was much more easy for
 36    III, 9 |      assigned the true substance of flesh to these true sensations
 37    III, 9 |           of his having produced no flesh at all, was quite right
 38    III, 9 |       ground in the true quality of flesh, although not issuing as
 39    III, 9 |            to apply to angels too a flesh of any material whatsoever,
 40    III, 9 |      deception than to produce real flesh from any material whatever,
 41    III, 9 |         also, who maintain that the flesh in the angels ought to have

 43    III, 9 |             that it was truly human flesh, and yet not born. It was

 47    III, 9 |          even a brief experience of flesh by being born, because they
 48    III, 9 |           pretended it to be unreal flesh. Since the Creator "maketh

 50    III, 10|            THAN MARCION'S FANTASTIC FLESH.~Therefore, since you are
 51    III, 10|        Christ not in the reality of flesh. If he despised it as earthly,
 52    III, 10|            of false or even of real flesh. But yet, if we look steadily
 53    III, 10|           thought the verity of the flesh, rather than its unreality,
 54    III, 10|            How great, then, is that flesh, the very phantasy of which
 55    III, 11|          more readily believed that flesh in the Divine Being should
 56    III, 11|       angels when they conversed in flesh which was real, although
 57    III, 11|        really carry about a body of flesh; not derived to Him, however,
 58    III, 11|          the device of an imaginary flesh. For what advantage was
 59    III, 11|           true, whether it were his flesh or his birth? Or if you
 60    III, 11|             at the beginning of the flesh. You have, of course, rejected
 61    III, 11|              and have produced true flesh itself. And, no · doubt,
 62    III, 11|          are; destroy the origin of flesh and life; call the womb
 63    III, 11|       nature, condemnation than the flesh. If Christ truly suffered
 64    III, 11|             was "the truth," He was flesh; since He was flesh, He
 65    III, 11|             was flesh; since He was flesh, He was born. For the points
 66    III, 11|             to be considered in the flesh, because He was born; and
 67    III, 11|          born, because He is in the flesh, and because He is no phantom,

 70    III, 18|         from His brethren after the flesh, the Jews; but when he is
 71    III, 20|          his race of whose body the flesh of Christ was to be the
 72    III, 20|           David, or rather His very flesh itself was David's "sure
 73    III, 24|         Himself man, without having flesh? O what a phantom from first
 74     IV, 21|            unworthiness of His very flesh. But how can that Christ
 75     IV, 21|          never condensed into human flesh in the womb of a woman,
 76     IV, 21|             woman; was never deemed flesh before shaped in the womb;
 77     IV, 26|        heaven; and when they wanted flesh, He sent them abundance
 78     IV, 27|           of the cup," that is, the flesh, "but you do not cleanse
 79     IV, 27|          the outside," that is, the flesh, "also make the inward part,"
 80     IV, 34|         They twain shall become one flesh; what therefore God hath
 81     IV, 37|        there is no salvation of the flesh. And this affords a confirmation
 82     IV, 40|         body which is not a body of flesh. If any sort of body were
 83     IV, 40|           view, which is not one of flesh, not being fleshly, it would
 84     IV, 40|            from the evidence of the flesh, we get a proof of the body,
 85     IV, 40|            body, and a proof of the flesh from the evidence of the
 86     IV, 40|           bleeding condition of His flesh under the metaphor of garments

 89     IV, 42|       spirit give itself up; or the flesh the spirit? But the spirit
 90     IV, 42|         breathes out spirit but the flesh, which both breathes the
 91     IV, 42|           it? Indeed, if it was not flesh (upon the cross), but a
 92     IV, 42|            cross), but a phantom of flesh (and a phantom is but spirit,

 98      V, 4 |       expressed the truth, that the flesh of Christ is not putative,
 99      V, 5 |            not constituted of human flesh, and thereby really suffered
100      V, 5 |        their opposites, so that "no flesh shall glory; but, as it

115      V, 10|            is not the soul, but the flesh which is "sown in corruption,"
116      V, 10|           the natural body, but the flesh, which was the natural body, (
117      V, 10|            man, in the works of the flesh. For what are this next

119      V, 10|           He means the works of the flesh and blood, which, in his
120      V, 10|           that "they who are in the flesh cannot please God." Now,
121      V, 10|        except whilst we are in this flesh? There is, I imagine, no

123      V, 10|             eschew the deeds of the flesh, then we shall not be in
124      V, 10|         then we shall not be in the flesh; since, although we are
125      V, 10|           from the substance of the flesh, we are notwithstanding
126      V, 10|              Now, since in the word flesh we are enjoined to put off,
127      V, 10|     substance, but the works of the flesh, therefore in the use of
128      V, 10|          denied to the works of the flesh, not to the substance thereof.
129      V, 10|          vessel of the works of the flesh, whilst the soul which is
130      V, 10|          author of the works of the flesh, shall attain to the kingdom
131      V, 10|          the kingdom of God for the flesh: all we do is, to assert
132      V, 10|            say, therefore, that the flesh rises again, but that when
133      V, 10|        seemingly pointed to his own flesh " must put on incorruption,
134      V, 10|           the perfect change of our flesh only after its resurrection.
135      V, 10|         contrary, there is to be no flesh, how then shall it put on
136      V, 10|            God, no longer the (old) flesh and blood, but the body
137      V, 10|          does the apostle declare, "Flesh and blood cannot inherit
138      V, 11|           out of my Spirit upon all flesh." Even if "the letter killeth,

140      V, 12|         shall find to be yet in the flesh). Both those shall be raised
141      V, 12|            so long as we are in the flesh, we are absent from the
142      V, 12|    ourselves from all filthiness of flesh and blood" (since this substance
143      V, 13|             to neglect of it in the flesh. Now it is quite within
144      V, 13|            of the heart, not in the flesh; in the spirit, and not
145      V, 13|             a body, but not exactly flesh. Now, whatever may be the
146      V, 13|         understood than that of the flesh, in respect of which the

148      V, 14|           in the likeness of sinful flesh," it must not therefore
149      V, 14|          therefore be said that the flesh which He seemed to have
150      V, 14|           verse ascribed sin to the flesh, and made it out to be "
151      V, 14|           in the likeness of sinful flesh, that He might redeem this
152      V, 14|            might redeem this sinful flesh by a like substance, even
153      V, 14|             a resemblance to sinful flesh, although it was itself
154      V, 14|          Spirit of God remedied the flesh; but when a flesh, which
155      V, 14|      remedied the flesh; but when a flesh, which is the very copy
156      V, 14|            sinning substance itself flesh also-only without sin, (
157      V, 14|            only have used the word "flesh," and omitted the "sinful."
158      V, 14|          together, and said "sinful flesh," (or "flesh of sin,") he
159      V, 14|           said "sinful flesh," (or "flesh of sin,") he has both affirmed
160      V, 14|             substance, that is, the flesh and referred the likeness
161      V, 14|      likeness. Thus the likeness of flesh would not be called spirit,
162      V, 14|           be called spirit, because flesh is not susceptible of any
163      V, 14|            not have us "live in the flesh," although in the flesh
164      V, 14|             flesh," although in the flesh even by not living in the
165      V, 14|          living in the works of the flesh he shows that when he wrote
166      V, 14|           when he wrote the words, "Flesh and blood cannot inherit
167      V, 14|    condemning the substance (of the flesh), but the works thereof;
168      V, 14|          whilst we are still in the flesh, they will therefore be
169      V, 14|             on the substance of the flesh, but on its conduct. Likewise,
170      V, 14|             the resurrection of the flesh (without which nothing can
171      V, 15|           deny the salvation of the flesh, and who, whenever there

173      V, 15|         body. This is left for "the flesh," which having no proper
174      V, 15|          can be applied except "the flesh." This, therefore, I understand
175      V, 15|          present passage, where the flesh is expressly called by the
176      V, 16|          that Christ is come in the flesh, and do not acknowledge
177      V, 17|           out of my Spirit upon all flesh," that is, on all nations.
178      V, 17|         that sins, and lusts of the flesh, and unbelief, and anger,

181      V, 17|               are made one) "in His flesh." But Marcion erased the

183      V, 17|  Marrucinian, for you here deny him flesh to whom in the verse above
184      V, 18|            his wife, loveth his own flesh, even as Christ loved the
185      V, 18|         much honour is given to the flesh in the name of the church! "
186      V, 18|              ever yet hated his own flesh" (except, of course, Marcion
187      V, 18|             only man that hates his flesh, for you rob it of its resurrection.
188      V, 18|    principle. Yea, Christ loved the flesh even as the Church. For
189      V, 18|           and of the Church, of the flesh and the spirit, by the apostle'
190      V, 18|           and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery."
191      V, 19|        afflictions of Christ in his flesh for His body's sake, which
192      V, 19|             instead of meaning real flesh. For he says above that
193      V, 19|            was possible through the flesh: (therefore he adds,) not
194      V, 19|     exchanging body for body one of flesh for a spiritual one. When,
195      V, 19|             the resurrection of the flesh, a truth which none of the
196      V, 19|          from the grave of the same flesh (that died) and holds without
197      V, 20|            nothing but a phantom of flesh. For he says of Christ,
198      V, 20|      substance, that is to say, his flesh; just as if to a substance
199      V, 20|             be man by reason of His flesh, because the apostle could
200      V, 20|       preceding verse "trust in the flesh," the sign of "circumcision,"
201      V, 20|           who shall be found in the flesh at the advent of God, and
