¹⁴ For ^(A)the whole law is fulfilled in one word: ^(B)“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁵ But if you ^(C)bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.

Keep in Step with the Spirit

¹⁶ But I say, ^(D)walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify ^(E)the desires of the flesh. ¹⁷ For ^(F)the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, ^(G)to keep you from doing the things you want to do. ¹⁸ But if you are ^(H)led by the Spirit, ^(I)you are not under the law. ¹⁹ Now ^(J)the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, ^(K)divisions, ²¹ envy,^[a] drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that ^(L)those who do^[b] such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But ^(M)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(N)love, joy, peace, patience, ^(O)kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ^23 (P)gentleness, ^(Q)self-control; ^(R)against such things there is no law. ²⁴ And those who belong to Christ Jesus ^(S)have crucified the flesh with its ^(T)passions and desires.

²⁵ If we live by the Spirit, ^(U)let us also keep in step with the Spirit. ^26 (V)Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

^7 (A)Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for ^(B)whatever one sows, that will he also reap. ⁸ For ^(C)the one who sows to his own flesh ^(D)will from the flesh reap corruption, but ^(E)the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. ⁹ And ^(F)let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, ^(G)if we do not give up. ¹⁰ So then, ^(H)as we have opportunity, let us ^(I)do good to everyone, and especially to those who are ^(J)of the household of faith.
