Galatians 5:13–26

¹³For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only ^pdo not use liberty as an ^qopportunity for the flesh, but ^rthrough love serve one another. ¹⁴For ^sall the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: ^t“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁵But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!

Walking in the Spirit

¹⁶I say then: ^uWalk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. ¹⁷For ^vthe flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, ^wso that you do not do the things that you wish. ¹⁸But ^xif you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

¹⁹Now ^ythe works of the flesh are evident, which are: ⁴adultery, ⁵fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, ²⁰idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, ²¹envy, ⁶murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that ^zthose who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

²²But ^athe fruit of the Spirit is ^blove, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, ^cgoodness, ^dfaithfulness, ²³⁷gentleness, self-control. ^eAgainst such there is no law. ²⁴And those who are Christ’s ^fhave crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. ^25gIf we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. ^26hLet us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
