The phrase "pound of flesh" appears in The Bible in 1 Corinthians 6:7, where Paul writes, "Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?" Paul is trying to combat the idea of demanding one's "pound of flesh" and instead argues that love "keeps no record of wrongs". He also says that it's better to be cheated than to be unloving, and that Jesus Christ's death on the cross is an example of this type of love.
