But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law.
All Commentaries on Galatians 5:18 Go To Galatians 5
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
He did not say “Walk in the Spirit so that you will not have desires of the flesh” but “so that you will not gratify them.” Not to have them at all, indeed, is not the struggle but the prize of struggle, if we shall have obtained the victory by perseverance under grace. For it is only the transformation of the body into an immortal state that will no longer have desires of the flesh.
