CEB 1 Christ has set us free for freedom. Therefore, stand firm and don't submit to the bondage of slavery again. NRS 1 For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
CEB 13 You were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only don't let this freedom be an opportunity to indulge your selfish impulses, but serve each other through love. NRS 13 For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. CEB 14 All the Law has been fulfilled in a single statement: Love your neighbor as yourself. NRS 14 For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." CEB 15 But if you bite and devour each other, be careful that you don't get eaten up by each other! NRS 15 If, however, you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. CEB 16 I say be guided by the Spirit and you won't carry out your selfish desires. NRS 16 Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. CEB 17 A person's selfish desires are set against the Spirit, and the Spirit is set against one's selfish desires. They are opposed to each other, so you shouldn't do whatever you want to do. NRS 17 For what the flesh desires is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you want. CEB 18 But if you are being led by the Spirit, you aren't under the Law. NRS 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the law. CEB 19 The actions that are produced by selfish motives are obvious, since they include sexual immorality, moral corruption, doing whatever feels good, NRS 19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, CEB 20 idolatry, drug use and casting spells, hate, fighting, obsession, losing your temper, competitive opposition, conflict, selfishness, group rivalry, NRS 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, CEB 21 jealousy, drunkenness, partying, and other things like that. I warn you as I have already warned you, that those who do these kinds of things won't inherit God's kingdom. NRS 21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. CEB 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, NRS 22 By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, CEB 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against things like this. NRS 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. CEB 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified self with its passions and its desires. NRS 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. CEB 25 If we live by the Spirit, let's follow the Spirit. NRS 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.
