Galatians 5:19-23

Walk by the Spirit

19 Now b the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, c divisions, 21 envy, 1 drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that d those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But e the fruit of the Spirit is f love, joy, peace, patience, g kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 h gentleness, i self-control; j against such things there is no law.
