16 My advice is to walk by the Spirit. Don’t satisfy the desires of your sinful human nature. 17 For the desires of the sinful nature are opposed to the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are opposed to the sinful nature. They fight one another, so you don’t do what you want to do. 18 But if the Spirit leads you, you’re not under the law.
19 It’s clear what the sinful human nature produces: sexual immorality, indecency, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, rivalry, jealousy, anger, selfish ambition, dissension, heresy, 21 envy, drunkenness, feasting, and similar things. As I warned you before so I warn you again: nobody who behaves like this will inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the Spirit produces fruit such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trust, 23 gentleness, self-control—and there’s no law against these kinds of things! 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed to the cross their sinful human nature, together with all their sinful passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit we should also walk in the Spirit.
