Galatians 5:23 - Forerunner Commentary

Galatians 5:23

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.
