THE SPIRIT VERSUS THE FLESH

16I say, then, walk by the Spiritw and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17For the flesh desiresx what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want.y 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19Now the works of the flesh are obvious:D sexual immorality,z moral impurity,aa promiscuity,ab 20idolatry,ac sorcery,ad hatreds,ae strife,af jealousy,ag outbursts of anger,ah selfish ambitions,ai dissensions,aj factions,ak 21envy,Eal drunkenness, carousing,am and anything similar. I am warning you about these things—as I warned you before—that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.an

22But the fruit of the Spiritao is love,ap joy,aq peace, patience,ar kindness,as goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness,at and self-control.au The law is not against such things.F 24Now those who belong to Christ Jesusav have crucified the fleshaw with its passions and desires.ax 25If we liveay by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.az
