Colossians 3:22
| ← Colossians 3:21 | Colossians 3:22 (KJV) | Colossians 3:23 → |
|---|---|---|
Fathers, provoke not your children [to anger], lest they be discouraged.
|
Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
|
And whatsoever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

- G4561 — σάρξ (sárx, sarx): flesh, body — probably from the base of σαρόω; flesh (as stripped of the skin), i.e. (strictly) the meat of an animal (as food), or (by extension) the body (as opposed to the soul (or spirit), or as the symbol of what is external, or as the means of kindred), or (by implication) human nature (with its frailties (physically or morally) and passions), or (specially), a human being (as such):--carnal(-ly, + -ly minded), flesh(-ly).
