       GALATIANS 5:13-26 (KJV)
       
        13
               For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use
               not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love
               serve one another.
        14
               For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this;
               Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
        15
               But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye
               be not consumed one of another.
        16
               This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not
               fulfil the lust of the flesh.
        17
               For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit
               against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the
               other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
        18
               But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
        19
               Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
               Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
        20
               Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath,
               strife, seditions, heresies,
        21
               Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:
               of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in
               time past, that they which do such things shall not
               inherit the kingdom of God.
        22
               But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
               longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
        23
               Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
        24
               And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with
               the affections and lusts.
        25
               If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
        26
               Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one
               another, envying one another.
