Galatians 5 : 16 - end
Chapter 5
16 | I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
|
17 | For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
|
18 | But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
|
19 | Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
|
20 | idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
|
21 | envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
|
22 | But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
|
23 | gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
|
24 | And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
|
25 | If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
|
26 | Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
|
Galatians 6 : 1 - 2
Chapter 6
1 | Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.
|
2 | Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
|
The grace of God the Father be with you all.
Amen.
