Galatians 5:14-24
5:14 For the whole law can be summed up in a single commandment,
namely, “
You must love your neighbor as yourself.”
5:15 However, if you continually bite and devour one another,
beware that you are not consumed
by one another.
5:16 But I say, live
by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.
5:17 For the flesh has desires that are opposed to the Spirit, and the Spirit has desires
that are opposed to the flesh, for these are in opposition to
each other, so that you cannot do what you want.
5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
5:19 Now the works of the flesh
are obvious:
sexual immorality, impurity, depravity,
5:20 idolatry, sorcery,
hostilities,
strife,
jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions,
factions,
5:21 envying,
murder,
drunkenness, carousing,
and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!
5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
5:23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
5:24 Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
