of flesh
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, feminine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GFS); denotes feminine singular in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form σαρκὸς denotes possession, source, or relation, so "of flesh" preserves the root sense of the physical, material aspect of a living being while accurately reflecting the genitive case. |
