Those who live as their human nature [flesh] tells them to have their minds controlled by what human nature [flesh] wants. Those who live as the Spirit tells them to, have their minds controlled by what the Spirit wants. The mind of the flesh [nature] is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace ~ Romans 8:5-6.
Galatians 5:17
For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want.
Galatians 5:19
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery;
Galatians 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Philippians 3:19
Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things.
For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit ~ 1 Peter 4:6.
