Galatians 5:13-26 NAS
For you were
called to freedom, brethren: only do not turn your freedom
into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one
another. For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement,
"YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." But if you
bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one
another.
But I say, walk by the
Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the
flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do
the things that you please. But if you are led by the Spirit, you
are not under the Law. Now the deeds of the flesh are evident which
are; immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities,
strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,
envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I
forewarn you just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such
things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the
Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now
those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its
passions and desires.
If we live by the
Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become boastful,
challenging one another, envying one another.
