Galatians 5:16-26
Legacy Standard Bible
Walk by the Spirit
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 do not do the things that you want. 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: (G)sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, (H)sorcery, enmities, (I)strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, (J)selfish ambition, dissensions, [b](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 [c]belong to (R)Christ Jesus (S)crucified the flesh with its passions and (T)desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also [d]walk in step with (U)the Spirit. 26 Let us not become those with (V)vain glory, challenging one another, envying one another.

Galatians 5:16-26
Lexham English Bible
Live by the Spirit and Reject the Deeds of the Flesh
16 But I say, live by the Spirit, and you will never carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, for these are in opposition to one another, so that whatever you want, you may not do these things. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are sexual immorality, impurity, licentiousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, factions, 21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, things which I am telling you in advance, just as I said before, that the ones who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ[a][b] have crucified the flesh together with its feelings and its desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit. 26 We must not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
