For it is\r\nheld as certain, that everything which is said to be a work of\r\nthe spirit is [a product of] the will of the spirit, and everything\r\nthat is called a work of the flesh [proceeds from] the\r\nwill of the flesh. What else then, besides these, is that will\r\nof the soul which receives a separate name,<a id=\"r706\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f706\"><sup>[706]</sup></a> and which will,\r\nthe apostle being opposed to our executing, says: “Ye cannot\r\ndo the things that ye would?” By this it would seem\r\nto be intended, that it ought to adhere to neither of these\r\ntwo, <i>i.e.</i> to neither flesh nor spirit. But some one will say,\r\nthat as it is better for the soul to execute its own will than\r\nthat of the flesh; so, on the other hand, it is better to do the\r\nwill of the spirit than its own will. How, then, does the\r\napostle say, “that ye cannot do the things that ye would?”\r\nBecause in that contest which is waged between flesh and\r\nspirit, the spirit is by no means certain of victory, it being\r\nmanifest that in very many individuals the flesh has the\r\nmastery.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK III.","CHAPTER IV.
