The Letter of Saint Paul to the Galatians   5: 18-25

5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest; they are: fornication, lust, homosexuality, self-indulgence,
5:20 the serving of idols, drug use, hostility, contentiousness, jealousy, wrath, quarrels, dissensions, divisions,
5:21 envy, murder, inebriation, carousing, and similar things. About these things, I continue to preach to you, as I have preached to you: that those who act in this way shall not obtain the kingdom of God.
5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, forbearance,
5:23 meekness, faith, modesty, abstinence, chastity. There is no law against such things.
5:24 For those who are Christ’s have crucified their flesh, along with its vices and desires.
5:25 If we live by the Spirit, we should also walk by the Spirit.
