But I say walk by the Spirit And you won’t fulfil the lust of the flesh For the flesh lusts against the Spirit And the Spirit against the flesh
But the fruit of the Spirit is love joy peace Patience kindness goodness faith Gentleness and self-control Against such things there is no law Those who belong to Christ Have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts
