14 For aall the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: b“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: aWalk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17 For athe flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, bso that you do not do the things that you wish.
18 But aif you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now athe works of the flesh are evident, which are:1 adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
21 envy,1 murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that athose who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But athe fruit of the Spirit is blove, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, cgoodness, dfaithfulness,
23 1gentleness, self-control. aAgainst such there is no law.
24 And those who are Christ’s ahave crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 aIf we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 aLet us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
