19. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, | |
20. idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, | |
21. envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. | |
22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Image | |
23. gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Image | |

26. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. |
