Scriptures on faith: "Because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin" 1 Peter 4:1

Peter tells us about suffering according to the flesh: "Therefore since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin", 1 Peter 4:1
Suffering according to the flesh are all those things that free us from worldly desires, and Peter gives us the example of Christ before anything else, the scriptures teach us that Christ suffered according to the flesh when he was tempted in the wilderness: "Jesus answered him, ´It is also written: ´Do not put the Lord your God to the test.´´" Matthew 4:7
We are all subject to the flesh, but by the spirit, we are called to eternal life: "This is eternal life that they may know you the only true God", John 17:3
When the Apostle Peter speaks of suffering, he refers to the fact that the desires of the spirit are opposed to those of the flesh, we cannot serve two masters at the same time: "For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want." Galatians 5:17.
The reason in human beings, always looks at the good, every being wants its own good or perfection explains Tomas Aquinas. The flesh is suffering because it binds us to error and the privation of the good.

There is sorrow or sadness that is to suffer according to the flesh and another that is not: "Godly sorrow bring repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death." 2 Corinthians 7:10
In the Christian faith, when we are born of the spirit, we also suffer according to the flesh:
"When the day of Pentecost came, they where all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them." Acts 2:1-4
