But just as at that time the one born by natural descent persecuted the one born according to the Spirit, so it is now.

However, if you continually bite and devour one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.

But I say, live by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.

Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Brothers and sisters, if a person is discovered in some sin, you who are spiritual restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness. Pay close attention to yourselves, so that you are not tempted too.

But even if we (or an angel from heaven) should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be condemned to hell!

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery.

Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows,

From Paul, an apostle (not from men, nor by human agency, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead)
