Walk by the Spirit
16 But I say,
1walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify
2the desires of the flesh.
17
For
3the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other,
4to keep you from doing the things you want to do.
18
But if you are
5led by the Spirit,
6you are not under the law.
19
Now
7the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
20
idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions,
8divisions,
21
envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that
9those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22
But
10the fruit of the Spirit is
11love, joy, peace, patience,
12kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23
13gentleness,
14self-control;
15against such things there is no law.
24
And those who belong to Christ Jesus
16have crucified the flesh with its
17passions and desires.
25
If we live by the Spirit,
18let us also walk by the Spirit.
