5:10 I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view. But the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
5:11 But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross would have been abolished.
5:12 I wish that those who are upsetting you would even mutilate themselves.
5:13 For you were called to freedom, brothers; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
5:14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
5:15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.
5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.
5:17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you do not do the things that you want.
5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
5:19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
5:21 envying, 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 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 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
5:25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk in step with the Spirit.
5:26 Let us not become those with vain glory, challenging one another, envying one another.
