10 For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God’s laws. 11 For the same God who said, “You must not commit adultery,” also said, “You must not murder.”[a] So if you murder someone but do not commit adultery, you have still broken the law.

Galatians 5:14-24
New Living Translation
Galatians 5:14-24
New Living Translation
14 For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[a] 15 But if you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another.
Living by the Spirit’s Power
16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. 17 The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. 18 But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.
19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.

Galatians 5:14-24
New International Version
14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[a](A) 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit,(B) and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.(C) 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh.(D) They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[b] you want.(E) 18 But if you are led by the Spirit,(F) you are not under the law.(G)
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality,(H) impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.(I) I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.(J)
22 But the fruit(K) of the Spirit is love,(L) joy, peace,(M) forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.(N) Against such things there is no law.(O) 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh(P) with its passions and desires.(Q)

3 Some people may contradict our teaching, but these are the wholesome teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. These teachings promote a godly life. 4 Anyone who teaches something different is arrogant and lacks understanding. Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions.
