Can pride, irritation and jealous never cease to happen in the church?



Gal 5:24-26 (TEV)
24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have put to death their human nature with all its passions and desires. 25 The Spirit has given us life; he must also control our lives. 26 We must not be proud or irritate one another or be jealous of one another.

 I read these bible verses today from different version. I felt can this be possible in house of God, that people will not be proud, irritated and be jealous of each other. I for one am not left out of these three. I do them whether consciously or unconsciously. The bible specifically said it in Today’s English Version (TEV) that pride, irritation and jealous must stop.
What must we do for these three not to happen in our fellowships?
1.      Put to death our human nature with all its passion and desires. Gal 5:24
2.      We must surrender to Spirit because He is the one that gives us life. Gal 5:25
3.      The Spirit must also control our lives.
4.      We must obey Gal 5:26 which says, we must not be proud or irritate one another or be jealous of one another.
