“Significantly, when speaking of ‘the works of the flesh’ Paul mentions not only ‘immorality [fornication], impurity, licentiousness […], drunkenness, carousing’—all of which objectively speaking are connected with the flesh; he also names other sins which we do not usually put in the ‘carnal’ or ‘sexual’ category—‘idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, envy’ […]. All these sins are the outcome of ‘life according to the flesh’, which is the opposite to ‘life according to the spirit’ ”
