- This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
- For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
- But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
- Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
- Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
|
- So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
- For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.
- But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
- The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
- idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
