Mat 26:41 -> "Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

My own experience is that I have two personalties. The one personality, my spirit, understands that a life without sin is the superior life. The other peronality, the flesh, sometimes succumbs to temptation.

Even after being saved, we must be constantly vigilant against temptation. The sinful nature, the old man, the flesh etc. continues to try to draw us into sin. I believe this verse speaks to that dual nature, that war within us.
