چکیده:
This paper is an analytical and critical study of Paul’s anthropology. Understanding his theology depends on understanding his anthropology. The effect of divine revelation and grace on man is the heart of his theology. Paul holds that man consists of three dimensions: body، soul and spirit، each of which consists of two components: 1. body and figure 2. mind and heart 3. soul and spirit. There are two ways of living: in accordance with the agreement of God and in accordance with the period before the rise of Christianity. When he discusses man’s essence، he mentions three conditions: creation، Fall and salvation. With regard to the aim of man’s creation، he believes that man was created by God in order to establish strong ties with Him. Before the Fall، Adam committed an original sin of his own free will and was put in an unpleasant situation. His sin was transmitted to his children and his sin led to his death. Man is inclined to sin، and doing good deeds and salvation is not possible without God's grace. Salvation is God's free gift which man can get through divine grace and faith in God.

This word ranges from the meaning of the physical matter of the body to the meaning of "flesh" as a force hostile to God. Some researchers such as Boer (2003) and Weiss (1827) have perceived flesh in Pauline theology as a cosmic force that is the enemy of the human spirit or the Holy Spirit (Guth, 1971, pp.
Although in Christianity, like in Judaism and Platonic philosophy, man is a mixture of soul and body and benefits from both a material and a divine creation, in the letters of Paul, there is mention of the tripartite nature of his existence; namely, body, soul, and spirit, where each dimension itself possesses two aspects or parts: 1.
