¹⁶But I say, ^vwalk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify ^wthe desires of the flesh. ¹⁷For ^xthe desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, ^yto keep you from doing the things you want to do. ¹⁸But if you are ^zled by the Spirit, ^ayou are not under the law. ¹⁹Now ^bthe works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, ²⁰idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, ^cdivisions, ²¹envy,⁴ drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that ^dthose who do⁵ such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. ²²But ^ethe fruit of the Spirit is ^flove, joy, peace, patience, ^gkindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³^hgentleness, ⁱself-control; ^jagainst such things there is no law. ²⁴And those who belong to Christ Jesus ^khave crucified the flesh with its ^lpassions and desires.

²⁵If we live by the Spirit, ^mlet us also keep in step with the Spirit. ²⁶ⁿLet us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
