Galatians 5:13-26

13For, brethren, ye have been called to liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one by another. 16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.1 17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are these ; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20Idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousy, wrath, contention, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, self-control: against such there is no law. 24And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.2 25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
