Hmmm, when he says flesh he uses sarks , 7.24 he uses swma. If Paul was so
dualistic though, why say in 12.1 to offer their swmata as a living
sacrifice as our spiritual/reasonable (logikos) worship? Wouldn't swmata
include our sexual natures? If he was dualistic, how can he use swmata,
technical cultic language, and greek philosophical terms all in one context?
