Life by the Spirit   
      
   Galations 5:   
      
   13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your   
   freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14   
   For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your   
   neighbor as yourself.”[b] 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or   
   you will be destroyed by each other.   
      
   16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the   
   flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit   
   what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that   
   you are not to do whatever[c] you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit,   
   you are not under the law.   
      
   19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and   
   debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of   
   rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies,   
   and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will   
   not inherit the kingdom of God.   
      
   22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness,   
   goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things   
   there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh   
   with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in   
   step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying   
   each other.   
      
   Let us live by the Spirit!   
      
   Sincerely,   
   Jon Justvig
