Live By The Spirit And Reject The Deeds Of The Flesh

15 But if you bite one another and eat one another, take care, or you will be destroyed by one another. 16 I mean this: Live by the Spirit, and then you will not indulge your physical cravings. 17 For the physical cravings are against the Spirit, and the cravings of the Spirit are against the physical; the two are in opposition, so that you cannot do anything you please.
