Focus on what is good.
Here is the answer to the previous passage. If legalism cannot stop temptation then what can? A focus on Jesus. Legalism continues to be a focus on what is wrong even though the attempt is at an avoidance of wrong, but, as we have learned when we were but children, when we focus on not doing the wrong we often give into it. If this is the case then ought we not focus on doing what is right? If focusing on the wrong often leads us to doing wrong then what might focusing on the right do? I believe this is what Paul is getting at.
