16 But I say, v walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify w the desires of the flesh. 17 For x the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, y to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if you are z led by the Spirit, a you are not under the law. 19 Now b the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, c divisions, 21 envy, [1] drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that d those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But e the fruit of the Spirit is f love, joy, peace, patience, g kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 h gentleness, i self-control; j against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus k have crucified the flesh with its l passions and desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, m let us also walk by the Spirit. 26 n Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
