¹⁶But I say, live by the Spirit, and you will never carry out the desire of the flesh. ¹⁷For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, for these are in opposition to one another, so that whatever you want, you may not do these things. ¹⁸But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

¹⁹Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are sexual immorality, impurity, licentiousness, ²⁰idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, factions, ²¹envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, things which I am telling you in advance, just as I said before, that the ones who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. ²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³gentleness, self control. Against such things there is no law. ²⁴Now those who belong to Christ^d^e have crucified the flesh together with its feelings and its desires.

²⁵If we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit.

Read in Logos
