Galatians 5:19-21

19 Now the works of the flesh ^{▼▼ See the note on the word “flesh” in Gal 5:13.} are obvious: ^{▼▼ Or “clear,” “evident.”} sexual immorality, impurity, depravity, 20 idolatry, sorcery, ^{▼▼ Or “witchcraft.”} hostilities, ^{▼▼ Or “enmities,” “[acts of] hatred.”} strife, ^{▼▼ Or “discord” (L&N 39.22).} jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, ^{▼▼ Or “discord(s)” (L&N 39.13).} factions, 21 envying, ^{▼▼ This term is plural in Greek (as is “murder” and “carousing”), but for clarity these abstract nouns have been translated as singular.} murder, ^{▼▼ ‡ φόνοι (fonoi, “murders”) is absent in such important mss as Ƥ⁴⁶ א B 33 81 323 945 pc sa, while the majority of mss (A C D F G Ψ 0122 0278 1739 1881 Maj. lat) have the word. Although the pedigree of the mss which lack the term is of the highest degree, homoioteleuton may well explain the shorter reading. The preceding word has merely one letter difference, making it quite possible to overlook this term (φθόνοι φόνοι, fthonoi fonoi).} drunkenness, carousing, ^{▼▼ Or “revelings,” “orgies” (L&N 88.287).} and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!
