<t /><p class="bodytext">But you know it was because of a physical illness that I first proclaimed the gospel to you,

But I say, live<n id="1" /> by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.<n id="2" />

Now the works of the flesh<n id="1" /> are obvious:<n id="2" /> sexual immorality, impurity, depravity,

For the flesh has desires that are opposed to the Spirit, and the Spirit has desires<n id="1" /> that are opposed to the flesh, for these are in opposition to<n id="2" /> each other, so that you cannot do what you want.

because the person who sows to his own flesh<n id="1" /> will reap corruption<n id="2" /> from the flesh,<n id="3" /> but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
