Galatians 5:16-26

Keep in Step with the Spirit

16But I say, awalk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify bthe desires of the flesh. 17For cthe 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, dto keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18But if you are eled by the Spirit, fyou are not under the law. 19Now gthe works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, hdivisions, 21envy,
Some manuscripts add murder
drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that jthose who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22But kthe fruit of the Spirit is llove, joy, peace, patience, mkindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 ngentleness, oself-control; pagainst such things there is no law. 24And those who belong to Christ Jesus qhave crucified the flesh with its rpassions and desires.

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