  have their powers of discernment trained by

Has Viruses, Bugs And Malware

• Galatians 516 I say then Walk in the Spirit,
  and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

21
2. Contribute To The War Effort By Following The
Allied Power, The Spirit

• Galatians 517 For the flesh lusts against the
  Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh and
  these are contrary to one another, so that you do
  not do the things that you wish.

22
3. Focus On A Relationship With The Spirit, Not
Rules To Achieve Righteousness

• Galatians 517-18 But if you are led by the
  Spirit, you are not under the law.

23
4. Be Honest About Your Struggle With The Flesh

• Romans 717-19 But now, it is no longer I who
  do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know
  that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good
  dwells for to will is present with me, but how
  to perform what is good I do not find. For the
  good that I will to do, I do not do but the evil
  I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do
  what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do
  it, but sin that dwells in me.

24
5. Consider Your Flesh Crucified With Christ

• Galatians 220 I have been crucified with
  Christ it is no longer I who live, but Christ
  lives in me and the life which I now live in the
  flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who
  loved me and gave Himself for me.

25
Romans 611-14

• 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be
  dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ
  Jesus our Lord. 12 Therefore do not let sin
  reign in your mortal body, that you should obey
  it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your
  members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin,
  but present yourselves to God as being alive from
  the dead, and your members as instruments of
  righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have
  dominion over you, for you are not under law but
  under grace

26
6. Learn To Hate Sin

• Galatians 519-21 19 Now the works of the flesh
  are evident, which are adultery, fornication,
  uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery,
  hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of
  wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
  21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the
  like of which I tell you beforehand, just as I
  also told you in time past, that those who
  practice such things will not inherit the kingdom
  of God.
