(See: en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor, en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_activepassive)

- obsesses about things - Having thoughts that constantly control the mind or being excessively preoccupied with something.
- fleshly thinking - Thinking as a natural or sinful person rather than as a spiritual person.
- hold on to - "firmly grasp" or "cling to" just as a child firmly holds on to his parent.
- Christ, the head, from whom the whole body is supplied and held together through joints and ligaments - This metaphor compares the authority of Christ over the Church to a human head which controls and governs all of the body. (See: en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor)
