18 But (A)if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Now (B)the works of the flesh are evident, which are: [a]adultery, [b]fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, [c]murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that (C)those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But (D)the fruit of the Spirit is (E)love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, (F)goodness, (G)faithfulness, 23 [d]gentleness, self-control. (H)Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s (I)have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 (J)If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 (K)Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Bear and Share Burdens

Brethren, if a man is [e]overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of (L)gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. (M)Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill (N)the law of Christ. For (O)if anyone thinks himself to be something, when (P)he is nothing, he deceives himself. But (Q)let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and (R)not in another. For (S)each one shall bear his own load.

Be Generous and Do Good

(T)Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for (U)whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap (V)everlasting life. And (W)let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap (X)if we do not lose heart. 10 (Y)Therefore, as we have opportunity, (Z)let us do good to all, (AA)especially to those who are of the household of faith.
