Galatians 5:16

5:16 But I say, live ¹  by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh. ² 

Romans 8:4-5

8:4 so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

8:5 For those who live according to the flesh have their outlook shaped by ³  the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their outlook shaped by the things of the Spirit.

[5:16]  ¹ tn Grk “walk” (a common NT idiom for how one conducts one’s life or how one behaves).

[5:16]  ² tn On the term “flesh” (once in this verse and twice in v. 17) see the note on the same word in Gal 5:13.

[8:5]  ³ tn Grk “think on” or “are intent on” (twice in this verse). What is in view here is not primarily preoccupation, however, but worldview. Translations like “set their mind on” could be misunderstood by the typical English reader to refer exclusively to preoccupation.
