Galatians 5:16-18
New Testament for Everyone
16 Let me say this to you: live by the spirit, and you won’t do what the flesh wants you to. 17 For the flesh wants to go against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you can’t do what you want. 18 But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law.
