Galatians 5:13-23

13 For you were called to 1freedom, brethren; 2only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love 3serve one another.
14 For 4the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, "5YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
15 But if you 6bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.
16 But I say, 7walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out 8the desire of the flesh.
17 For 9the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, 10so that you may not do the things that you please.
18 But if you are 11led by the Spirit, 12you are not under the Law.
19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: 13immorality, impurity, sensuality,
20 idolatry, 14sorcery, enmities, 15strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, 16disputes, dissensions, 17factions,
21 envying, 18drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not 19inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But 20the fruit of the Spirit is 21love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, 22self-control; against such things 23there is no law.
