Quarrels result from <strong>the</strong> selfish desires of <strong>the</strong> sinful human nature or flesh. Variance<br />
(quarrels based upon differences of opinion,interpretation, or altered legal conditions),<br />
emulations (malicious, unrighteous heated jealousy or indignation), wrath (fierce, violent, extreme<br />
anger), strife (any form of competitive rivalry or contention for superiority for <strong>the</strong> <strong>purpose</strong> of<br />
promoting yourself above someone or placing <strong>the</strong>m below you) are all works of <strong>the</strong> flesh.<br />
Now <strong>the</strong> works of <strong>the</strong> flesh are manifest, which are <strong>the</strong>se; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness,<br />
lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strif e, seditions, heresies,<br />
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of <strong>the</strong> which I tell you before, as I have<br />
also told you in time past, that <strong>the</strong>y which do such things shall not inherit <strong>the</strong> kingdom of God.<br />
(Galatians 5:19-21)<br />
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come <strong>the</strong>y not hence, even of your lusts that war<br />
in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and<br />
war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may<br />
consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that <strong>the</strong> friendship of <strong>the</strong><br />
world is enmity with God? whosoever <strong>the</strong>refore will be a friend of <strong>the</strong> world is <strong>the</strong> enemy of God.<br />
(James 4:1-4)<br />
It’s God’s will that <strong>the</strong> church walk (conduct and regulate one’s life) in <strong>the</strong> Spirit and not<br />
fulfill (perform, execute, complete) <strong>the</strong> lust (desire, craving, longing, desire for what is forbidden)<br />
of <strong>the</strong> flesh (mere human nature, <strong>the</strong> earthly nature of man apart from divine influence, and<br />
<strong>the</strong>refore prone to sin and opposed to God)<br />
For <strong>the</strong>y that are after <strong>the</strong> flesh do mind <strong>the</strong> things of <strong>the</strong> flesh; but <strong>the</strong>y that are after <strong>the</strong> Spirit <strong>the</strong><br />
things of <strong>the</strong> Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.<br />
Because <strong>the</strong> carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to <strong>the</strong> law of God, nei<strong>the</strong>r indeed<br />
can be. So <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong>y that are in <strong>the</strong> flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in <strong>the</strong> flesh, but in <strong>the</strong><br />
Spirit, if so be that <strong>the</strong> Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not <strong>the</strong> Spirit of Christ, he is<br />
none of his. (Romans 8:5-9)<br />
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to <strong>the</strong> flesh, but<br />
by love serve one ano<strong>the</strong>r. (Galatians 5:13)<br />
This I say <strong>the</strong>n, Walk in <strong>the</strong> Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil <strong>the</strong> lust of <strong>the</strong> flesh. (Galatians 5:16)<br />
But <strong>the</strong> fruit of <strong>the</strong> Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness,<br />
temperance: against such <strong>the</strong>re is no law. And <strong>the</strong>y that are Christ’s have crucified <strong>the</strong> flesh with <strong>the</strong><br />
affections and lusts. If we live in <strong>the</strong> Spirit, let us also walk in <strong>the</strong> Spirit. Let us not be desirous of<br />
vain glory, provoking one ano<strong>the</strong>r, envying one ano<strong>the</strong>r. (Galatians 5:22 -26)<br />
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of <strong>the</strong> flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to <strong>the</strong> Spirit<br />
shall of <strong>the</strong> Spirit reap life everlasting. (Galatians 6:8)<br />
Having <strong>the</strong>refore <strong>the</strong>se promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of <strong>the</strong><br />
flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in <strong>the</strong> fear of God. (2 Corinthians 7:1)<br />
Forasmuch <strong>the</strong>n as Christ hath suffered for us in <strong>the</strong> flesh, arm yourselves likewise with <strong>the</strong> same<br />
mind: for he that hath suffered in <strong>the</strong> flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live <strong>the</strong><br />
rest of his time in <strong>the</strong> flesh to <strong>the</strong> lusts of men, but to <strong>the</strong> will of God. For <strong>the</strong> time past of our life
