Galatians 5:19-26

19Now, the effects of the corrupt nature are obvious: illicit sex, perversion, promiscuity,

20idolatry, drug use, hatred, rivalry, jealousy, angry outbursts, selfish ambition, conflict, factions,

21envy, drunkenness, wild partying, and similar things. I’ve told you in the past and I’m telling you again that people who do these kinds of things will not inherit God’s kingdom.

22But the spiritual nature produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23gentleness, and self-control. There are no laws against things like that.

24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their corrupt nature along with its passions and desires.

25If we live by our spiritual nature, then our lives need to conform to our spiritual nature.

26We can’t allow ourselves to act arrogantly and to provoke or envy each other.
