(a) associated with or pertaining to, "the flesh, carnal," Rom 15:27; 1Cr 9:11;
(b) of "the nature of the flesh, sensual," translated "fleshly" in 2Cr 1:12, of wisdom; in 1Pe 2:11, of lusts; in 2Cr 10:4, negatively, of the weapons of the Christian's warfare, RV, "of the flesh" (AV, "carnal").

2 | Strong's Number: g4560 | Greek: sarkinos |
Fleshly, Fleshy:
denotes "of the flesh, fleshly" (the termination, inos signifying the substance or material of a thing); in 2Cr 3:3, RV, "(tables that are hearts) of flesh," AV, "fleshly (tables)," etc.
See CARNAL.
Note: The adjectives "fleshly," "carnal" are contrasted with spiritual qualities in Rom 7:14; 1Cr 3:1, 3, 4; 2Cr 1:12; Col 2:18 (lit., "mind of flesh"). Speaking broadly, the carnal denotes the sinful element in man's nature, by reason of descent from Adam; the spiritual is that which comes by the regenerating operation of the Holy Spirit.
