³¹ “^(A)Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a ^(B)new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, ³² not like the ^(C)covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I ^(D)took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My ^(E)covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. ³³ “For ^(F)this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord: “^(G)I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and ^(H)I will be their God, and they shall be My people. ³⁴ They will ^(I)not teach again, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all ^(J)know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will ^(K)forgive their wrongdoing, and their ^(L)sin I will no longer remember.”

¹⁹ And I will ^(A)give them one heart, and put a new spirit within ^[a]them. And I will remove the ^(B)heart of stone from their flesh and give them a ^(C)heart of flesh,

²⁵ Then I will ^(A)sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your ^(B)filthiness and from all your ^(C)idols. ²⁶ Moreover, I will give you a ^(D)new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the ^(E)heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. ²⁷ And I will ^(F)put My Spirit within you and bring it about that you walk in My statutes, and are careful and ^[a]follow My ordinances.

¹⁷ For ^(A)the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, ^(B)in order to keep you from doing whatever you want.

²⁴ Now those who ^[a]belong to ^(A)Christ Jesus ^(B)crucified the flesh with its passions and ^(C)desires.

He then says,

¹⁶ But I say, ^(A)walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out ^(B)the desire of the flesh.

²² But ^(A)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(B)love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, ^(C)self-control; against such things ^(D)there is no law.
