Romans 7:14-8:8
The law is spiritual but we, as men, are of flesh. We are born slaves to flesh, that is sin. The law of Christ is of spirit, and empowers us to the freedom, setting us free of sin (and the law of sin and death) and allowing us to serve God the way we were intended to from Creation.
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
