Apostle Paul said in one of his episode in Romans 7:15: I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. (New living translation). My question here is, is it that the flesh always overcome Apostle Paul that he often find himself doing the wrong thing (what he hate) even when not willing to as anointed as he his? Though he didn't mention does things maybe assuming he did he would have discouraged lots of believers. Is it really possible as human to overcome the flesh and things of this world? Bible scholars please come and enlighten us a little.

Paul was speaking there of himself, not your case or mine. So, do not strive to be like Paul and think his weaknesses are yours as well. You are instead called to become like Jesus Christ who made it severally clear to you that He has overcome the world on your behalf.

In Jesus Christ, we are able to live above the shortcomings of the flesh, and the world.
