98 10 | SCRIPTURE MAGNIFIES THE FLESH, AS TO ITS NATURE AND ITS
99 10 | scriptures in which the flesh is disparaged; receive also
100 10 | which elevates it. "All flesh is grass." Well, but Isaiah
101 10 | but he also declared, "All flesh shall see the salvation
102 10 | these men, because they are flesh; " but then He is also heard
103 10 | out of my Spirit upon all flesh." Even the apostle ought
104 10 | is wont to reproach the flesh. For although he says that "
105 10 | although he says that "in his flesh dwelleth no good thing;"
106 10 | that "they who are in the flesh cannot please God," because "
107 10 | please God," because "the flesh lusteth against the Spirit;"
108 10 | not the substance of the flesh, but its actions, which
109 10 | fairly be cast upon the flesh, without tending also to
110 10 | soul, which compels the flesh to do its bidding. However,
111 10 | the humiliations of the flesh thrust off its resurrection,

120 11 | be able to call forth the flesh too from somewhere else,
121 11 | that the restoration of the flesh is easier than its first
122 12 | THE RESURRECTION OF THE FLESH.~Consider now those very

134 15 | from community with the flesh even our thoughts, however

136 15 | done by the soul in the flesh, and with the flesh, and

138 15 | the flesh, and through the flesh. The Lord Himself, in short,
139 15 | censures this aspect of the flesh, (man's heart), the citadel

156 16 | employed the vessel of the flesh; the vessel itself, of course,
157 16 | we will grant that the flesh is innocent, in so far as
158 16 | or employer; whereas the flesh, being conceived, formed,
159 16 | apostle is well aware that the flesh does nothing of itself which

196 26 | earth be glad," meaning the flesh of the saints, to which

200 26 | seem to be promised to the flesh, whose lot it was to inhabit
201 27 | THE RESURRECTION OF THE FLESH.~We have also in the Scriptures
202 27 | allegorizing the hope of the flesh. Thus in the Revelation
203 27 | bright beauty of the unwedded flesh. In the gospel even, "the
204 27 | regarded as the sanctity of the flesh. And so, when Isaiah tells

209 28 | order to be punished. To the flesh, therefore, applies everything
210 28 | the blood, for without the flesh there cannot be blood. The
211 28 | there cannot be blood. The flesh will be raised up in order
212 28 | make alive. Now it is the flesh which is killed by death;
213 28 | is killed by death; the flesh, therefore, will be revived
214 28 | taking away life from the flesh, and its opposite, reviving,
215 28 | to restoring life to the flesh, it must needs be that the
216 28 | it must needs be that the flesh rise again, to which the

220 31 | THE RESURRECTION OF THE FLESH.~Unquestionably, if the
221 31 | passage it is written: "All flesh shall come to worship before
222 31 | shall be a spectacle to all flesh" even to that which, being
223 32 | relation to the restoration of flesh and blood, in order the

226 33 | THE RESURRECTION OF THE FLESH.~This is evidence enough

228 33 | the bodily nature of the flesh by suggesting a recourse
229 33 | bodily character of the flesh is indicated by our Lord

241 34 | the resurrection of the flesh must be denied to them,
242 35 | is a resurrection of the flesh; for unless it were raised
243 35 | would be impossible for the flesh to be "killed in hell."
244 35 | meaning of "the body" (or "the flesh "), I will at once state
245 35 | than that fabric of the flesh which, whatever be the kind
246 35 | tangible to us, that is, the flesh, which, as it will be destroyed
247 35 | destruction of the soul and the flesh in hell amounts to a final
248 35 | the resurrection of the flesh, and its eternal "killing."
249 35 | would be most absurd if the flesh should be raised up and
250 35 | you may believe that the flesh which has been consigned
251 36 | either for the soul or the flesh; and therefore, taking the
252 36 | specious inquiry concerned the flesh, whether or not it would

256 37 | enjoined on them to eat his flesh, He, with the view of ordering
