Galatians 5:17-22

17For 1the flesh 2sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, 3so that you may not do the things that you 4please.

18But if you are 5led by the Spirit, 6you are not under the Law.

19Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: 7 8immorality, impurity, sensuality,

20idolatry, 9sorcery, enmities, 10strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, 11disputes, dissensions, 12 13factions,

21envying, 14drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not 15inherit the kingdom of God.

22But 16the fruit of the Spirit is 17love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
