# the members that are on earth
|
|
|
|
The word "members" here refers to parts of a person's nature. Being "on earth" or being worldly is a metaphor for being sinful. The rest of the verse is a list of sinful "members" or behaviors. Alternate translation: "the earthly parts of your nature" or "the parts of your nature that are worldly" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
