Galatians 5:16-18
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
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. 18 But if you are being led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
