(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Ye shall not fulfil (ou mē telesēte). Rather, “Ye will not fulfil.” Strong double negative with aorist active subjunctive.
The lust of the flesh (epithumian sarkos). Bad sense here as usual in Paul, but not so in 1Th 2:17; Phi 1:23. The word is just craving or longing (from epi, thumos, yearning after).
