¹³ For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only ^(A)do not use liberty as an ^(B)opportunity for the flesh, but ^(C)through love serve one another. ¹⁴ For ^(D)all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: ^(E)“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁵ But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!

Walking in the Spirit

¹⁶ I say then: ^(F)Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. ¹⁷ For ^(G)the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, ^(H)so that you do not do the things that you wish. ¹⁸ But ^(I)if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

¹⁹ Now ^(J)the works of the flesh are evident, which are: ^[a]adultery, ^[b]fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, ²¹ envy, ^[c]murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that ^(K)those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

²² But ^(L)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(M)love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, ^(N)goodness, ^(O)faithfulness, ^23 [d]gentleness, self-control. ^(P)Against such there is no law. ²⁴ And those who are Christ’s ^(Q)have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. ^25 (R)If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
