Galatians 5:17

Live By The Spirit And Reject The Deeds Of The Flesh

¹⁶ But I say, live by the Spirit, and you will never carry out the desire of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, for these are in opposition to one another, so that whatever you want, you may not do these [things]. ¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
