Galatians 5:16

Live By The Spirit And Reject The Deeds Of The Flesh

¹⁵ But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not destroyed by each other. ¹⁶ So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will never fulfill the desires of the flesh. ¹⁷ For what the flesh wants is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, and so you do not do what you want to do.
