Jesus tells us....
17 ‘Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked…
Sounds like the self-righteous to me....started in the spirit and then relied on the flesh

the wheels did not have far to go. if you keep reading , ( something you legalists have a hard time doing. ) Paul went on to say that " those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh , and it's passions and desires".
crucifiction does NOT result in a instant death, it happens over time, and was different for every poor soul who had to endure one.
so, you see, the Bible will interpet it's self if you let it.
but, folks who have a agenda, they won't let it.

Well I’m not a legalists as you say, in my opinion I think many folks think Jesus is a push over that they don’t really need to practice these below only when they feel like doing it or when we are in a good mood or whatever.
there are times when defense of loves ones can apply, he made a whip to defend His Fathers house so you can defend your house or family but it’s on a extreme basis.
Gala 5
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
these are the narrow road it’s much harder to do these than any of the OT laws. there is a law to love that is to practice the rest above as well.
He will not forsake people but people forsake Him in not applying these fruits of the spirit daily.
