SCRIPTURE

"For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would. But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law." — Galatians 5:17-18 (ASV)

And these are contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

The law is always to you the blessed rule by which you judge your conduct, but it is not a law of condemnation to you, neither are you seeking salvation by it.
