5:10 I have confidence in you, through the Lord, that you will be single-minded. But he who troubles you shall bear condemnation, whoever he might be.
5:11 And I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the stumbling block of the cross is abolished.
5:12 I even wish those who disquiet you would emasculate themselves.
5:13 For brothers, you have been called to freedom. Only, do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but by love serve one another.
5:14 For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, which is this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
5:15 If, however, you bite and devour one another, take heed, for you might be consumed by one another.
5:16 Then I say, walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. And these are contrary one to another, so that you cannot do the things you would like.
5:18 And if you be led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
5:19 Moreover, the works of the flesh are obvious: adultery, fornication, impurity, lewdness,
5:21 envy, murders, drunkenness, gluttony, and the like. And, just as I have told you before, those who do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.
5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
5:23 gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.
5:24 For those who are Christ’s, have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
5:25 If we live in the Spirit, we should also walk in the Spirit.
5:26 Let us not become boastful, provoking one another, envying one another.
