NASB | Galatians 5:17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 5:17 For the sinful nature has its desire which is opposed to the Spirit, and the [desire of the] Spirit opposes the sinful nature; for these [two, the sinful nature and the Spirit] are in direct opposition to each other [continually in conflict], so that you [as believers] do not [always] do whatever [good things] you want to do. |

Bible Note: CurtMan, Adam Clarke was a famous preacher and commentator of the Wesleyan movement and is thus generally of the Arminian (non-determinist) position. Because his commentaries are in the public domain, they are available in many CD-ROM collections. They are also available on-line at http://www.godrules.net/library/clarke/clarke.htm. As to your questions on his views on Romans 8, you will find his comments on Romans 8 at http://www.godrules.net/library/clarke/clarkerom8.htm. By way of full disclosure, I (in accord with New Creature) agree with Clarke and disagree with the determinist position. That is my unsolicited, one and one-half cents worth. Winston Churchill |
