Episode Synopsis

Paul addresses the age-old battle of continuing to sin that every Christian faces. Paul uses Greek word sarx which means "flesh" to represent the desire to sin. We see this great inward struggle by the contrasting appearance of the word Spirit (7x) with that of sarx (5x). Paul identifies the dueling presence of the words of the sarx with the fruits of the Spirit in this thought provoking and motivating sections of the letter.
