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[No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20795]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees; and both the trust and the trustees are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees; and both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have added metal eyelets and a self-strap closure with buckle and grommet and an inside moisture wicking sweatband. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37136]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have added metal eyelets and a self-strap closure with buckle and grommet and an inside moisture wicking sweatband.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And what is a good citizen?
