¹⁹ Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: ^(A)sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, ²⁰ idolatry, ^(B)witchcraft, hostilities, ^(C)strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, ^(D)selfish ambition, dissensions, ^(E)factions, ²¹ envy, ^(F)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 ^(G)inherit the kingdom of God.

²¹ For from within, out of the ^[a]hearts of people, come the evil thoughts, acts of sexual immorality, thefts, murders, acts of adultery, ²² deeds of greed, wickedness, deceit, indecent behavior, ^[b](A)envy, slander, ^[c]pride, and foolishness. ²³ All these evil things come from within and defile the person.”

³ But ^(A)sexual immorality ^[a]or any impurity or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among ^[b]saints;

⁵ For this you know with certainty, that ^(A)no sexually immoral or ^[a]impure or greedy person, which ^[b]amounts to an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom ^(B)of Christ and God.

^6 (C)See that no one deceives you with empty words, for because of these things ^(D)the wrath of God comes upon ^(E)the ^[c]sons of disobedience.

³ Among them ^[a]we too all ^(A)previously lived in ^(B)the lusts of our flesh, ^[b]indulging the desires of the flesh and of the ^[c]mind, and were ^(C)by nature ^(D)children of wrath, ^(E)just as the rest.

⁵ For those who are in accord with the flesh set their minds on ^(A)the things of the flesh, but those who are in accord with the Spirit, ^(B)the things of the Spirit. ^6 (C)For the mind ^[a]set on the flesh is ^(D)death, but the mind ^[b]set on the Spirit is life and peace, ⁷ because the mind ^[c]set on the flesh is ^(E)hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, ⁸ and those who are ^(F)in the flesh cannot please God.

¹³ for ^(A)if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are ^(B)putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
