Romans 8:6-8
8:6 For the outlook
of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace,
8:7 because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so.
8:8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:1

Colossians 1:20
1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself by making peace through the blood of his cross – through him, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
Galatians 5:19-20
5:19 Now the works of the flesh
are obvious:
sexual immorality, impurity, depravity,
5:20 idolatry, sorcery,
hostilities,
strife,
jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions,
factions,
James 3:14-16
3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfishness in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth.
3:15 Such
wisdom does not come
from above but is earthly, natural,
demonic.
3:16 For where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is disorder and every evil practice.
James 4:1-6
Passions and Pride
4:1 Where do the conflicts and where do the quarrels among you come from? Is it not from this, from your passions that battle inside you?
4:2 You desire and you do not have; you murder and envy and you cannot obtain; you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask;
4:3 you ask and do not receive because you ask wrongly, so you can spend it on your passions.
4:4 Adulterers, do you not know that friendship with the world means hostility toward God? So whoever decides to be the world’s friend makes himself God’s enemy.
4:5 Or do you think the scripture means nothing when it says, “The spirit that God caused to live within us has an envious yearning”?
4:6 But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.”
