Gal. 5. 17. For the flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; & these are contrary one to another, so that ye can not do the things which ye would.
Gal. 5. 17. For the flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; & these are contrary one to another, so that ye can not doe the things which ye would.
The Apostle Paul from the beginning of this chapter to the 13. verse exhorts the Galatians to maintain their christian liberty: & from thence to the end of the chapter he persuades them to other special duties of godliness. In the 13. verse he stirs them up to be serviceable one to another by love: in the 15. verse he dissuades them from contentions & doing of injuries. In the 16. verse he shows the remedy of the former sins, which is to walk according to the spirit. In this seventeenth verse he renders a reason of the remedy, the force whereof is this. The flesh and the spirit are contrary: ⟨p. 72⟩wherefore if ye walk according to the spirit, it will hinder the flesh, that it shall not carry you forward to do injuries & live in contentions, as otherwise it would.
