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 flesh [a]sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, (D)so that you may not do the things that you [b]please. 18 But if you are (E)led by the Spirit, (F)you are not under the Law. 19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: [c](G)immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, (H)sorcery, enmities, (I)strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, (J)disputes, dissensions, [d](K)factions, 21 envying, (L)drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not (M)inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But (N)the fruit of the Spirit is (O)love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, (P)self-control; against such things (Q)there is no law. 24 Now those who [e]belong to (R)Christ Jesus have (S)crucified the flesh with its passions and (T)desires.
