- 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
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
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.
