Spirit lusts against the Flesh
Just as the flesh has lusts that are contrary to walking after the spirit so also the spirit has lusts that are contrary to walking after the flesh. Look at Galatians 5:17 and see what it is saying.
Galatian 5:17 (KJV)
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot dothe things that ye would.
Galatians 5:17(Modified)
For the flesh lusts [or sets its desire] against the Spirit, and the Spirit [lusts or sets its desire] against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.
Galatians 5:17(NRSV)
For what the flesh desires is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you want.
From the same chapter…
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. - Galatians 5:16
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. - Galatians 5:25
