1.1 "IN THE FLESH" VS. "ACCORDING TO OR AFTER THE FLESH"
Compare with Romans 8:5
2.1 "In the flesh": unbeliever
ἐν (en) "in" = a fixed position in place, time, or state
2.2 "According to the flesh": believer or unbeliever
κατὰ (kata) "after or according to" = according to anything as a standard; agreeable to"
1.2 WHAT PLEASES GOD
2.1 The basic issue: Faith
3.1 THE BASIS OF LIVING THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
3.2 THE BASIS FOR JUSTIFICATION
3.3 THE BASIS FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS
3.4 THE BASIS FOR PEACE WITH GOD
2.2 The outworking of faith
3.1 REMAINING UNENTANGLED FROM THE WORLD
3.2 BEARING FRUIT IN EVERY GOOD WORK
3.3 INCREASING IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
3.4 DOING THINGS THAT HE APPROVES
3.5 LIVING A GODLY LIFE STYLE (WALK)
3.6 PREACHING THE SIMPLE GOSPEL
3.7 SHARING WITH THOSE IN NEED
3.8 PRAISING AND GIVING THANKS TO THE LORD
1.3 WHY THE FLESH CANNOT PLEASE GOD
2.1 We are pleasing ourselves, rather than acting in love
Jesus did not live for self
2.2 We are men pleasers, rather than God pleasers
Jesus did not seek the approval of men
So then they who are in the flesh cannot please God. (NKJV)
