Galatians 5:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Galatians 5:19

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.
