Here St. Paul calls flesh (as does Christ in John 3) everything born of flesh, i.e. the whole human being with body and soul, reason and senses, since everything in him tends toward the flesh. That is why you should know enough to call that person "fleshly" who, without grace, fabricates, teaches and chatters about high spiritual matters. You can learn the same thing from Galatians, chapter 5, where St. Paul calls heresy and hatred works of the flesh. And in Romans, chapter 8, he says that, through the flesh, the law is weakened. He says this, not of unchastity, but of all sins, most of all of unbelief, which is the most spiritual of vices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis skill not strength that governs a ship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis skill not strength that governs a ship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success breeds confidence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success breeds confidence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think it is any surprise to anybody because everyone who has talked to me since I resigned said ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35305]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think it is any surprise to anybody because everyone who has talked to me since I resigned said they understand that there is a pervasive negative attitude in the county, ...
