For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Sometimes it's a battle. Sometimes it's a war. Without the power of the Spirit, our willpower would eventually give out and our ending would be more distant from our Target than our beginning. But because of the Spirit's power, our losses can be overcome and our progress to our Goal is assured. (2 Corinthians 3:17-18)
