John 8:15

     15. Ye judge after the flesh—with no spiritual apprehension.

      I judge no man.

2 Corinthians 11:18

     18. many—including the "false teachers."

      after the flesh—as fleshly men are wont to boast, namely, of external advantages, as their birth, doings, &c. (compare 2Co 11:22).

      I will glory also—that is, I also will boast of such fleshly advantages, to show you that even in these I am not their inferiors, and therefore ought not to be supplanted by them in your esteem; though these are not what I desire to glory in (2Co 10:17).

Philippians 3:4

     4. "Although I (emphatical) might have confidence even in the flesh." Literally, "I having," but not using, "confidence in the flesh."

      I more—have more "whereof I might have confidence in the flesh."
