In this sermon The Battle is the Lord's, We do not win by observance of do's and don'ts. nor by living by rules and regulations. There is an ongoing battle of the divine Spirit against the flesh, which includes the idea of sinful desires, no matter how refined.It is impossible to conquer evil that way. Simply live by the Spirit, and you will not need a hard external law, nor will you be in bondage to the works of the flesh.
