19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious:[a][b] sexual immorality,(A) moral impurity,(B) promiscuity,(C) 20 idolatry,(D) sorcery,(E) hatreds,(F) strife,(G) jealousy,(H) outbursts of anger,(I) selfish ambitions,(J) dissensions,(K) factions,(L) 21 envy,[c](M) drunkenness, carousing,(N) and anything similar. I tell you about these things in advance—as I told you before—that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.(O)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit(P) is love,(Q) joy,(R) peace, patience,(S) kindness,(T) goodness, faith,[d] 23 gentleness,(U) self-control.(V) Against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus(W) have crucified the flesh(X) with its passions and desires.(Y) 25 Since we live(Z) by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit.
