Galatians 5:16-26

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Walk By The Spirit And You Will Not Fulfill The Flesh’s Desires Or Be Under The Law

¹⁶ And I say— be walking by the Spirit and you will never^[a] fulfill^[b] the desire of ^[c] the flesh. ¹⁷ For the flesh desires against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh. For these are contrary^[d] to one another in-order-that you might not be doing these^[e] things which you may be wanting. ¹⁸ But if you are being led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.

Those Who Practice The Works of The Flesh Will Not Inherit God’s Kingdom

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are sexual-immorality, impurity, sensuality, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, rages^[f], selfish-interests, dissentions, factions, ²¹ envy^[g], drunkenness, revelries, and the things like these— as to which things I tell you beforehand, just as I said-before, that the ones practicing such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Those In Christ Crucified The Flesh And Bear The Fruit of Living By The Spirit

²² But the fruit of ^[h] the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. ²⁴ And the ones of ^[i] Christ Jesus crucified the flesh, with its passions and desires. ²⁵ If we are living by the Spirit, let us also be walking-in-line^[j] with the Spirit.

Don’t Be Conceited. Humbly Care For One Another And You Will Fulfill Christ’s Law

²⁶ Let us not become conceited^[k] ones, challenging^[l] one another, envying one another.
