But the fruit of the Spirit  is love,  joy,  peace, patience,  kindness,  goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,  and self-control.  The law is not against such things.

I say, then, walk by the Spirit  and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh.

If we live  by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus  have crucified the flesh  with its passions and desires.

Now the works of the flesh are obvious:  sexual immorality,  moral impurity,  promiscuity,  idolatry,  sorcery,  hatreds,  strife,  jealousy,  outbursts of anger,  selfish ambitions,  dissensions,  factions,  envy,  , drunkenness, carousing,  and anything similar. I am warning you about these things #— #as I warned you before #— #that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

For you were called  to be free, brothers and sisters; only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity  for the flesh, but serve one another through love.

For the flesh desires  what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want.

For the whole law is fulfilled  in one statement: Love your neighbor as yourself.  

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

For freedom, Christ set us free. Stand firm,  then, and don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery.
