The Apostle Paul put the conflict in perspective, when he wrote to the church at Rome: “I delight in the law of God after the inward man (spirit): But I see another law in my members (flesh), warring against the law of my mind ...bringing me into captivity to the law of sin; which is in my members (flesh).”
[Rom 7:22-23]
And that revelation, by Paul, was followed by this eye opening question, to the church at Galatia: “Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
[Gal 3:3]
Sounds like the evidence of the “works of (the lie of) the devil;” which is the reason that “the Son (the truth) of God was manifested, that He might destroy/root out/throw down” the lie (and the liar). [1 Jn 3:8]
Jesus promised that “When the Spirit of truth is come He will {overcome the lie, and} guide you into all truth {ie. displace the lead, and the leaven of the lie}.”
[Jn 16:13]
To be held captive is to be “beguiled, bewitched, charmed, infatuated, enthralled, fascinated, hypnotized,” ...drawn away of your own lust, by the influence of “the lie.”
[Pastor; Jas 1:14]
Jesus said: “If ye continue in my word (truth), then ...ye shall know (Me) the truth, and the (Spirit of) truth shall make you free {from the lie}.”
[Jn 8:31-32]
