Galatians 5:11-21 (Epistle)
- 11
- And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased.
- 12
- I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off!
- 13
- For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
- 14
- For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
- 15
- But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!
- 16
- I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
- 17
- For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
- 18
- But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
- 19
- Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
- 20
- idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
- 21
- envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
