¹³ For you were called to ^(A)freedom, brothers and sisters; ^(B)only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but ^(C)serve one another through love. ¹⁴ For ^(D)the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “^(E)You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

¹⁶ But I say, ^(A)walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out ^(B)the desire of the flesh. ¹⁷ For ^(C)the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, ^(D)in order to keep you from doing whatever you want.

^63 (A)It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh provides no benefit; ^(B)the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life.

^8 (A)Be of sober spirit, ^(B)be on the alert. Your adversary, ^(C)the devil, prowls around like a roaring ^(D)lion, seeking someone to devour.

²⁴ Do not ^(A)judge by the outward appearance, but judge ^[a]with righteous judgment.”

^15 (A)You judge ^[a]according to the flesh; ^(B)I am not judging anyone.

⁴⁷ If anyone hears My ^[a]teachings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for ^(A)I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

¹⁶ Therefore from now on we recognize no one ^[a](A)by the flesh; even though we have known Christ by the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.

⁸ Above all, ^(A)keep fervent in your love for one another, because ^(B)love covers a multitude of sins.
