Galatians 5:15-26

15But if you 1bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

16But I say, 2walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out 3the desire of the flesh. 17For 4the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, 5in order to keep you from doing whatever you want. 18But if you are 6led by the Spirit, 7you are not under the Law. 19Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: 8sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, 20idolatry, 9witchcraft, hostilities, 10strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, 11selfish ambition, dissensions, 12factions, 21envy, 13drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not 14inherit the kingdom of God. 22But 15the fruit of the Spirit is 16love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, 17self-control; against such things 18there is no law. 24Now those who 19belong to 20Christ Jesus 21crucified the flesh with its passions and 22desires.

25If we live by the Spirit, let’s follow 23the Spirit as well. 26Let’s not become 24boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.
