Aug 23, 2017 at 6:47 comment added Cannabijoy @4castle Hey thanks for looking that up. The KJV did give us a lot of expressions we still use today. It looks like the NWT also uses the article. Maybe it's just a traditional thing?
Aug 23, 2017 at 6:29 comment added castletheperson It looks like the idiom may have started in 1865, so there's probably a different reason the KJV translated it that way, and then it later became an idiom by being an allusion to Jesus. Interesting!
Aug 23, 2017 at 6:13 comment added Cannabijoy @4castle Hmm, maybe. I wonder if this idiom was used when the KJV was written.
Aug 23, 2017 at 6:05 comment added castletheperson The phrase "in the flesh" is a fairly common English idiom, so perhaps it's just a convenient translation?
