Tertullian of Carthage

AD 220

Because "the flesh lusteth against the Spirit; ". Thus, so long as the things which are the Spirit's please them not, the things which are of the flesh will please, as being the contraries of the Spirit. "The flesh "saith (the apostle), "lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh."
