Galatians 5:13-26

13For you were calledG2564 to 1freedomG1657, brothersG80 and sisters; 2onlyG3440 do not turn your freedomG1657 into an opportunityG874 for the fleshG4561, but 3serveG1398 oneG240 anotherG240 throughG1223 loveG26. 14For 4the wholeG3956 LawG3551 is fulfilledG4137 in oneG1520 wordG3056, in the statement, “5You shall loveG25 your neighborG4139 as yourselfG4572.” 15But ifG1487 you 6biteG1143 and devourG2719 oneG240 anotherG240, takeG991 careG991 that you are not consumedG355 by oneG240 anotherG240.

16But I sayG3004, 7walkG4043 by the SpiritG4151, and you will not carryG5055 outG5055 8the desireG1939 of the fleshG4561. 17For 9the desireG1937 of the fleshG4561 is againstG2596 the SpiritG4151, and the SpiritG4151 againstG2596 the fleshG4561; for theseG3778 are in oppositionG480 to oneG240 anotherG240, 10inG2443 orderG2443 toG2443 keepG3361 you fromG3361 doingG4160 whateverG3739G1437 you wantG2309. 18But ifG1487 you are 11ledG71 by the SpiritG4151, 12you are not underG5259 the LawG3551. 19NowG1161 the deedsG2041 of the fleshG4561 are evidentG5318, whichG3748 are: 13sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, impurityG167, indecentG766 behaviorG766, 20idolatryG1495, 14witchcraftG5331, hostilitiesG2189, 15strifeG2054, jealousyG2205, outburstsG2372 ofG2372 angerG2372, 16selfishG2052 ambitionG2052, dissensionsG1370, 17factionsG139, 21envyG5355, 18drunkennessG3178, carousingG2970, and things likeG3664 theseG3778, of whichG3739 I forewarnG4302 you, justG2531 asG2531 I have forewarnedG4275 you, that thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 suchG5108 thingsG5108 will not 19inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 22But 20the fruitG2590 of the SpiritG4151 is 21loveG26, joyG5479, peaceG1515, patienceG3115, kindnessG5544, goodnessG19, faithfulnessG4102, 23gentlenessG4240, 22self-controlG1466; againstG2596 suchG5108 thingsG5108 23there is noG3756 lawG3551. 24NowG1161 thoseG3588 who 24belong to 25ChristG5547 JesusG2424 26crucifiedG4717 the fleshG4561 with its passionsG3804 and 27desiresG1939.

25IfG1487 we liveG2198 by the SpiritG4151, let’s followG4748 28the SpiritG4151 asG2532 wellG2532. 26Let’s not becomeG1096 29boastfulG2755, challengingG4292 oneG240 anotherG240, envyingG5354 oneG240 anotherG240.
