16. This I say then —Repeating in other words, and explaining the sentiment in :- , What I mean is this." Walk in the Spirit — Greek, "By (the rule of) the (Holy) Spirit." Compare Galatians 5:16-18 ; Galatians 5:22 ; Galatians 5:25 ; Galatians 6:1-8 ; Romans 7:22 ; Romans 8:11 . The best way to keep tares out of a bushel is to fill it with wheat. the flesh —the natural man, out of which flow the evils specified ( Romans 8:11- : ). The spirit and the flesh mutually exclude one another. It is promised, not that we should have no evil lusts, but that we should "not fulfil " them. If the spirit that is in us can be at ease under sin, it is not a spirit that comes from the Holy Spirit. The gentle dove trembles at the sight even of a hawk's feather. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-17" class="com-number"
