5:10 I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine; and he who is troubling you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
5:11 But if I, brethren, still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
5:12 I wish those who unsettle you would mutilate themselves!
5:13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another.
5:14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
5:15 But if you bite and devour one another take heed that you are not consumed by one another.
5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh.
5:17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would.
5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law.
5:19 Now the works of the flesh are plain: immorality, impurity, licentiousness,
5:21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that 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 there is no law.
5:24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
5:25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
5:26 Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another.
