The “flesh” is the believer’s confidence in his own ability, strength and wisdom. As such a believer, while already a new creation and partaker of divine nature, may still operate in the “flesh.’ The “flesh” is a personality unbecoming of a believer in Christ as may be observed from Galatians 3:3: "Are you so foolish and so senseless and so silly? HAVING BEGUN [YOUR NEW LIFE SPIRITUALLY] WITH THE [HOLY SPIRIT, ARE YOU NOW REACHING PERFECTION [BY DEPENDENCE] ON THE FLESH?"
