Popular Bible Verses from Galatians 5

Share

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There’s no law against things like that.

So I say, be guided by the Spirit, and you won’t do what your wrong desires want.

Since we live by the Spirit, let’s keep in step with the Spirit.

People who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed their wrong desires to his cross. They don’t want to follow them anymore.

It’s clear what happens when people follow their wrong desires. There are sexual sins, impure acts, and wild living; idol-worship and witchcraft; hatred, fighting, jealousy, fits of anger, selfish ambition, arguments, cliques, and envy; drunkenness, wild parties, and many other things like that. I warn you now, as I did before, that people who live like this won’t inherit God’s kingdom.

My brothers and sisters, you were called to be free. But don’t use your freedom as an excuse to live under the power of sin. Instead, serve one another humbly in love.

Those desires don’t want what the Spirit wants, and the Spirit doesn’t want what they want. The two are at war with each other, and that’s why you’re not supposed to do whatever you want.

You can obey the entire law by following this one command: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”

Let’s not become proud or make each other angry or want what belongs to someone else.

Christ has set us free so that we can be free. So stand firm, and don’t let anyone make you a slave again.
