‏ Galatians 5:24

 Crucified the flesh ( την σαρκα εσταυρωσαν ). Definite event, first aorist active indicative of  σταυροω as in 2:19 (mystical union with Christ). Paul uses  σαρξ here in the same sense as in verses 16, 17, 19, "the force in men that makes for evil" (Burton).

 With ( συν ). "Together with," emphasizing "the completeness of the extermination of this evil force" and the guarantee of victory over one's passions and dispositions toward evil.
