The Spirit versus the Flesh
16 I say, then, walk by the Spirit 5:16 Rm 8:4; 1Tm 3:16; 2Pt 1:4; 2:10 and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires 5:17 1Pt 2:11 what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want. 5:17 Rm 7:15,23; Php 2:13
22 But the fruit of the Spirit 5:22 Mt 7:16–20; Rm 6:21; 7:4; 8:5; Eph 5:9 is love, 5:22 1Co 13:1; Phm 5 joy, 5:22 Jn 15:11; 2Co 6:10 peace, patience, 5:22 Ex 34:6; 2Tm 3:10 kindness, 5:22 Ps 25:6; 2Co 6:6 goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, 5:23 Jms 3:13 and self-control. 5:23 2Pt 1:6 The law is not against such things. 5:23 Or Against such things there is no law24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus 5:24 Nm 3:12 have crucified the flesh 5:24 Rm 8:12 with its passions and desires. 5:24 2Pt 1:4; 2:1025 If we live 5:25 Php 1:21; 3:16 by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
