Galatians 5:15-17
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
15 But if you are biting and devouring one another, watch out that you may not be consumed by one another!
Walk By The Spirit And You Will Not Fulfill The Flesh’s Desires Or Be Under The Law
16 And I say— be walking by the Spirit and you will never[a] fulfill[b] the desire of [c] the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh. For these are contrary[d] to one another in-order-that you might not be doing these[e] things which you may be wanting.
