- John 6:51–63
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.”
Commentary on John 6:51–632 voices
“If any eat of this bread - That is, believe in me: he shall live forever - In other words, he that believeth to the end shall be saved. My flesh which I will give you - This whole discourse concerning his flesh and blood refers directly to his passion, and but remotely, if at all, to the Lord's Supper.”
John Wesley · Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
“The bread that I will give is by flesh - That is, his body would be offered as a sacrifice for sin, agreeably to his declaration when he instituted the Supper: ‘This is my body which is broken for you,’ 1Co 11:24. Life of the world - That sinners might, by his atoning sacrifice, be recovered from spiritual death, and be brought to eternal life.”
Albert Barnes · Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Galatians 5:19–21
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery;
Commentary on Galatians 5:19–212 voices
“The identification of ‘the natural (Greek, 'animal-souled') man,’ with the ‘carnal’ or fleshly man (1Co 2:14), shows that ‘the flesh’ expresses human nature as estranged from God. TRENCH observes, as a proof of our fallen state, how much richer is every vocabulary in words for sins, than in those for graces.”
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
“Which are these - He enumerates those ‘works of the flesh’ to which the Galatians were most inclined; and those parts of ‘the fruit of the Spirit’ of which they stood in the greatest need. Lasciviousness - The Greek word means anything inward or outward that is contrary to chastity, and yet short of actual uncleanness.”
John Wesley · Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
