Walk in the Spirit

Galatians 5:1-26  
¹  It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
²  Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you.
³  And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.
⁴  You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
⁵  For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.
⁶  For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.
⁷  You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?
⁸  This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you.
⁹  A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.
¹⁰  I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
¹¹  But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.
¹²  I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves.
¹³  For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
¹⁴  For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, 
"YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
¹⁵  But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.
¹⁶  But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.
¹⁷  For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.
¹⁸  But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
¹⁹  Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,
²⁰  idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,
²¹  envying, 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 inherit the kingdom of God.
²²  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
²³  gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
²⁴  Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
²⁵  If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
²⁶  Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.
