16

But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.

17

For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh because these are opposite the one to the other so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do.

18

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

19

Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: evil desire, unclean things, wrong use of the senses,

20

Worship of images, use of strange powers, hates, fighting, desire for what another has, angry feelings, attempts to get the better of others, divisions, false teachings,

21

Envy, uncontrolled drinking and feasting, and such things: of which I give you word clearly, even as I did in the past, that they who do such things will have no part in the kingdom of God.

22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

23

Gentle behaviour, control over desires: against such there is no law.

24

And those who are Christ's have put to death on the cross the flesh with its passions and its evil desires.

25

If we are living by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us be guided.

26

Let us not be full of self-glory, making one another angry, having envy of one another.
