There is a war in our body between our carnal and spiritual man - Romans 7:5-6, Roman 7:14-25, Romans 8:1-2
Romans 7:5-6
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins (sinful motions), which were (were called out) by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered (to make useless) from the law, that being dead wherein we were held (having died to that, in that which we were held); that we should serve (do service) in newness of spirit (new spiritual nature), and not in the oldness of the letter.
Roman 7:14-25
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal (fleshly, no moral significance), sold under sin.
15 For that which I do I allow (approve) not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent (express agreement with) unto the law that it is good.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth (abodes) no good thing: for to will (would) is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin (the old nature) which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 8:1-2
8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath made me free (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).
