¹³ For you were called to ^(A)freedom, brothers and sisters; ^(B)only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but ^(C)serve one another through love. ¹⁴ For ^(D)the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “^(E)You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁵ But if you ^(F)bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

¹⁶ But I say, ^(G)walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out ^(H)the desire of the flesh. ¹⁷ For ^(I)the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, ^(J)in order to keep you from doing whatever you want. ¹⁸ But if you are ^(K)led by the Spirit, ^(L)you are not under the Law. ¹⁹ Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: ^(M)sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, ²⁰ idolatry, ^(N)witchcraft, hostilities, ^(O)strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, ^(P)selfish ambition, dissensions, ^(Q)factions, ²¹ envy, ^(R)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 ^(S)inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But ^(T)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(U)love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, ^(V)self-control; against such things ^(W)there is no law. ²⁴ Now those who ^[a]belong to ^(X)Christ Jesus ^(Y)crucified the flesh with its passions and ^(Z)desires.

²⁵ If we live by the Spirit, let’s follow ^(AA)the Spirit as well. ²⁶ Let’s not become ^(AB)boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.
