Galatians 5:17-26

GNT

NIV

17 For what our human nature wants is opposed to what the Spirit wants, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to what our human nature wants. These two are enemies, and this means that you cannot do what you want to do.
17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.
18 If the Spirit leads you, then you are not subject to the Law.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 What human nature does is quite plain. It shows itself in immoral, filthy, and indecent actions;
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 in worship of idols and witchcraft. People become enemies and they fight; they become jealous, angry, and ambitious. They separate into parties and groups;
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 they are envious, get drunk, have orgies, and do other things like these. I warn you now as I have before: those who do these things will not possess the Kingdom of God.
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 humility, and self-control. There is no law against such things as these.
23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have put to death their human nature with all its passions and desires.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 The Spirit has given us life; he must also control our lives.
25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
26 We must not be proud or irritate one another or be jealous of one another.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
