Young's Literal Translation YLT
New International Version NIV
17 for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will -- these ye may not 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 and if by the Spirit ye are led, ye are not under law.
18
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
19
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes, emulations, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects,
20
idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit.
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 And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;
23
gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;
24
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk;
25
Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
26 let us not become vain-glorious -- one another provoking, one another envying!
26
Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
