King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
16
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
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 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
18
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
19
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
20
idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit 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 fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, 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.

gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
24
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
25
Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
26
Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
