A carne
A carne representa a natureza pecaminosa que milita contra o Espírito. A Bíblia ensina que os que pertencem a Cristo crucificaram a carne com suas paixões e desejos.
Carne versus Espírito
Os que são segundo a carne inclinam-se para as coisas da carne. O nascido da carne é carne; o nascido do Espírito é Espírito.
5 For they who are according to the flesh mind the things of flesh, but they who are according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit.6 For to be carnally minded [is] death, but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace7 because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can [it be].8 So then they who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But you are not in the flesh, but in [the] Spirit, if [the] Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not [the] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.
1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to those [who are] in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.2 But the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh;4 so that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
13 For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die. But if you through [the] Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.14 For as many as are led by [the] Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
21 I find then a law: when I will to do the right, evil is present with me.22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man;23 but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin being in my members.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sin worked in our members through the law to bring forth fruit to death.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
63 It is the Spirit that makes alive, the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and are life.
Vencer a carne
Andai no Espírito e não cumprireis os desejos da carne. Os que são de Cristo crucificaram a carne com suas paixões.
16 I say, then, Walk in [the] Spirit and you shall not fulfill [the] lusts of [the] flesh.
19 Now the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lustfulness,20 idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, fightings, jealousies, angers, rivalries, divisions, heresies,21 envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
24 But those belonging to Christ have crucified the flesh with [its] passions and lusts.
13 For, brothers, you were called to liberty. Only do not [use] the liberty for [an] opening to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
8 For he sowing to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh. But he sowing to the Spirit will reap life everlasting from the Spirit.
16 because all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
11 in whom also you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ,
41 Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.
50 And I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit [the] kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
