John Gill on Jer. 17: 9®it deceives him with respect to sin; it proposes it to him
under the notion of pleasure; it promises him a great deal in it, but does not

and a dream; and what it gives is very short lived; it is but for a season, and
ends in bitterness and death

John Gill on Gal. 5: 17®The
inclinations and desires of the flesh are contrary to those of the Spirit. They
draw as away in an opposite direction; and while the Spirit of God would lead
us one way, our carnal nature would lead us another, and thus produce the
painful controversy which exists in our minds. The word" Spirit" here
refers to the Spirit of God, and to his influences on the heart. And these
are contrary, etc. They are opposite in their nature. They never can
harmonize.
