13For you were called to freedom, brothers. qOnly do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love rserve one another. 14For sthe whole law is fulfilled in one word: t“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15But if you ubite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
Keep in Step with the Spirit
16But I say, vwalk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify wthe desires of the flesh. 17For xthe 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, yto keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18But if you are zled by the Spirit, ayou are not under the law. 19Now bthe works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, cdivisions, 21envy,4 drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that dthose who do5 such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22But ethe fruit of the Spirit is flove, joy, peace, patience, gkindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23hgentleness, iself-control; jagainst such things there is no law. 24And those who belong to Christ Jesus khave crucified the flesh with its lpassions and desires.
25If we live by the Spirit, mlet us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26nLet us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
