Galatians 5:16-18

5:16 But I say, live ¹  by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh. ²  5:17 For the flesh has desires that are opposed to the Spirit, and the Spirit has desires ³  that are opposed to the flesh, for these are in opposition to ⁴  each other, so that you cannot do what you want. 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
