σάρκινος,
σαρκίνη,
σάρκινον (
σάρξ) (
Aristophanes,
Plato,
Aristotle, others),
fleshy, Latin
carneus, i. e.
1. consisting of flesh, composed of flesh (for proparoxytones ending in
-ινος generally denote the material of which a thing is made, cf. Fritzsche, Ep. ad Romans, ii., p. 46f; (Donaldson, New Crat. § 258));
Vulg. carnalis: opposed to
λίθινος,
2 Corinthians 3:3 (
σάρκινος ἰχθύς, opposed to a fish of gold which has been dreamed of,
Theocritus, id. 21, 66; the word is also found in
Plato,
Aristotle,
Theophrastus,
Plutarch; the
Sept., others).
2. pertaining to the body (as earthly and perishable material, opposed to
ζωή ἀκατάλυτος):
Hebrews 7:16 G L T Tr WH (see
σαρκικός, 2).
3. it is used where
σαρκικός might have been expected: viz. by
G L T Tr WH in
Romans 7:14 and
1 Corinthians 3:1; in these passages, unless we decide that Paul used
σαρκικός and
σάρκινος indiscriminately, we must suppose that
σάρκινος expresses the idea of
σαρκικός with an emphasis:
wholly given up to the flesh, rooted in the flesh as it were. Cf.
Winer's Grammar, § 16, 3
γ.; Fritzsche as above; Reiche, Critical Commentary on the N. T., i., p. 138ff; Holsten, Zum Evang. des Paulus u. Petrus, p. 397ff. (Rostock, 1887); (
Trench, Synonyms, § lxxii.).
