Galatians 5:24

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
All Commentaries on Galatians 5:24 Go To Galatians 5

John Chrysostom

AD 407
So that no one may ask, “And who is like this?” he points to people who perform such good things by their works. Once again he makes flesh stand for evil deeds. He does not mean that they had destroyed their flesh; otherwise how were they going to live? For the crucified person is dead and inactive. But what he means is strict discipleship. Even if desires press hard they rage in vain. Since the power of the Spirit is such, let us live according to it, and let us be content with it.
