Galatians 5:13
Compare all
11 And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, awhy do I still suffer persecution? Then bthe offense of the cross has ceased.  
12 aI could wish that those bwho trouble you would even cut themselves off!  
13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only ado not use liberty as an bopportunity for the flesh, but cthrough love serve one another.  
14 For aall the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: b“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”  
15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!

Walking in the Spirit

16 I say then: aWalk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  
17 For athe flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, bso that you do not do the things that you wish.

Galatians 5:13-18

So what happens is, the person goes on in his destructive ways. And it is largely because of this principle that we are talking about here in Galatians 5, where human nature wants to go in one direction and the Spirit of God wants to go in the other and the person with the free moral agency, who sits in the middle, who is responsible for controlling the one and using the other, that is, controlling the human nature by governing himself, and using the Spirit of God by setting his will to go in the right direction, instead he does not go in that direction and allows human nature to deny and continue in the old way.
