Galatians 5:13-24
13For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to indulge your flesh, but through love serve one another.
14For the whole law can be summed up in a single commandment, namely, “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”
15However, if you continually bite and devour one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.
16But I say, live by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.
17For the flesh has desires that are opposed to the Spirit, and the Spirit has desires that are opposed to the flesh, for these are in opposition to each other, so that you cannot do what you want.
18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity,
20idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions,
21envying, murder, drunkenness, carousing, and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
