The KJV renders 5 different Hebrew and Greek words as “flesh”

What it means

flesh (as stripped of the skin), i.e. (strictly) the meat of an animal (as food), or (by extension) the body (as opposed to the soul (or spirit), or as the symbol of what is external, or as the means of kindred), or (by implication) human nature (with its frailties (physically or morally) and passions), or (specially), a human being (as such)

probably from the base of G4563 (σαρόω);

How the KJV renders it

carnally, flesh

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

“flesh”

also renders kréas (G2907), bᵉshar (H1321), ṭibchâh (H2878), shᵉʼêr (H7607)
