New Testament

Galatians 5:18-26 New Century Version (NCV)

18. But if the Spirit is leading you, you are not under the law.

19. The wrong things the sinful self does are clear: being sexually unfaithful, not being pure, taking part in sexual sins,

20. worshiping gods, doing witchcraft, hating, making trouble, being jealous, being angry, being selfish, making people angry with each other, causing divisions among people,

21. feeling envy, being drunk, having wild and wasteful parties, and doing other things like these. I warn you now as I warned you before: Those who do these things will not inherit God’s kingdom.

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

23. gentleness, self-control. There is no law that says these things are wrong.

24. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their own sinful selves. They have given up their old selfish feelings and the evil things they wanted to do.

25. We get our new life from the Spirit, so we should follow the Spirit.

26. We must not be proud or make trouble with each other or be jealous of each other.
