A carne
A carne representa a natureza pecaminosa que milita contra o Espírito. A Bíblia ensina que os que pertencem a Cristo crucificaram a carne com suas paixões e desejos.
Carne versus Espírito
Os que são segundo a carne inclinam-se para as coisas da carne. O nascido da carne é carne; o nascido do Espírito é Espírito.

For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace.
Because the carnal (of the flesh, sensual) mind [is] hatred (being an enemy) against God-The Father: for it is not subject to the law of God-The Father, neither indeed can be.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God-The Father.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God-The Father sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit [Ruach].
For if you2f live after the flesh, you2f shall die: but if you2f through the Spirit [Ruach] do mortify (put to death; remove the life of) the deeds of the body, you2f shall live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit [Ruach] of God-The Father, they are the sons of God-The Father.
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
For I delight in the law of God-The Father after the inward man:
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit [Ruach] is Spirit [Ruach].
It is the Spirit [Ruach] that quickens; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are Spirit [Ruach], and [they] are life.
Vencer a carne
Andai no Espírito e não cumprireis os desejos da carne. Os que são de Cristo crucificaram a carne com suas paixões.
[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit [Ruach], and you2f shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness (being lustful, loose or lewd; promoting lustful desires in others),
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, disagreement (dissension), emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God-The Father.
And they that are Moshiach [Messiah]’s have crucified the flesh with the passions and lusts.
For, brethren, you2f have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
In whom also you2f are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Moshiach [Messiah]:
"Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation, because truly the Spirit [Ruach] is ready to go to its creator, but the flesh is weak and sick".
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God-The Father; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
