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,

Galatians 5:18

"If ye are led (give yourselves up to be led) by (Greek) the Spirit, ye are not under the law." For ye are not working the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:16, Galatians 5:19-21) which bring one "under the law" (Romans 8:2, Romans 8:14). The "Spirit makes free from the law of sin and death" (Galatians 5:23). The law is made for a fleshly man, and for the works of the flesh (I Timothy 1:9), "not for a righteous man" (Romans 6:14-15).
