The scriptures do not, despite the strong insistence of many, come as a set. Any one set will have major inadequecies which further revelations and scriptures can fix. Some inadequacies are glaring. Romans is an important epistle and its highest point is chapter 8 describing the way to live for eternal life. Yet it assumes we know what is meant by living by the Spirit or the Law of the Spirit and living by the flesh. Galatians 5 emphasises it without explaining it: "Live by the Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." Nowhere do the Bible scriptures clarify conclusively what such an important teaching means. In forty years of attending various churches nobody has explained it conclusively in my hearing nor has anyone I have asked. The Book of Enoch (67:8-10 *) is the only source I have found that clarifies; by teaching that kings of the earth trusted in the lusts rather than following after the leadings of the Holy Spirit. This shows that it is all about what we trust and therefore follow after and if we trust our lusts we miss the leadings away from that way given by the Holy Spirit and if we distrust them and trust instead the leadings of the Holy Spirit we will be saved from the peril these kings were heading into.
* Enoch 67
"... 8. But those waters shall in those days serve for the kings and the mighty and the exalted, and those who dwell on the earth, for the healing of the body, but for the punishment of the spirit; now their spirit is full of lust, that they may be punished in their body, for they have denied the Lord of Spirits and see their punishment daily, and yet believe not in His name. 9. And in proportion as the burning of their bodies becomes severe, a corresponding change shall take place in their spirit for ever and ever; for before the Lord of Spirits none shall utter an idle word. 10. For the judgement shall come upon them, because they believe in the lust of their body and deny the Spirit of the Lord. 11. And those same waters will undergo a change in those days; for when those angels are punished in these waters, these water-springs shall change their temperature, and when the angels ascend, this water of the springs shall change and become cold. 12. And I heard Michael answering and saying: 'This judgement wherewith the angels are judged is a testimony for the kings and the mighty who possess the earth.' 13. Because these waters of judgement minister to the healing of the body of the kings and the lust of their body; therefore they will not see and will not believe that those waters will change and become a fire which burns for ever."
