Galatians 5:16

But I say to you, Walk in the Spirit, and the desires of the flesh you will not work.

The Peschito Syriac New Testament: Translated into English by John Wesley Etheridge

In The King James Version

17For the flesh desireth that which is repugnant to the Spirit, and the Spirit desireth that which is repugnant to the flesh; and the two are adverse one to the other, that not any thing that you will you may do.
