Colossians 3:5
"Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immortality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry."
The earthly nature and the deeds it typically produces are strong for mere human will-power to resist.
But Christ living within us can overcome the earthly nature.
By increasing our trust in Christ, His Spirit increasingly gives us the strength to follow His commands.
Overtime, as we pursue our relationship with the Holy Spirit, the earthly nature is overshadowed and the new creation comes to dominate.
