Galatians 5:16

Live By The Spirit And Reject The Deeds Of The Flesh

¹⁵ But if you [unlovingly] bite and eat one another [i.e., figuratively], be careful that you do not totally consume one another. ¹⁶ But, I am saying to you, live in harmony with the Holy Spirit's [desire for you] and [then] you will not [always] be giving in to the wrong desires of your body. ¹⁷ For what your body wants is in conflict with what the Holy Spirit wants [for you], and what the Holy Spirit wants conflicts with what your body wants, for these [two desires] are contrary to one another, so that you do not [always] do what you [really] want to.
