New Testament

Galatians 5:14-25 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

14. For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

15. But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.

16. But I say, live by the Spirit, and you will never carry out the desire of the flesh.

17. For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, for these are in opposition to one another, so that whatever you want, you may not do these things.

18. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19. Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are sexual immorality, impurity, licentiousness,

20. idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, factions,

21. envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, things which I am telling you in advance, just as I said before, that the ones who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23. gentleness, self control. Against such things there is no law.

24. Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh together with its feelings and its desires.

25. If we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit.
