Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: evil desire, unclean things, wrong use of the senses,

20

Worship of images, use of strange powers, hates, fighting, desire for what another has, angry feelings, attempts to get the better of others, divisions, false teachings,

21

Envy, uncontrolled drinking and feasting, and such things: of which I give you word clearly, even as I did in the past, that they who do such things will have no part in the kingdom of God.

22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

23

Gentle behaviour, control over desires: against such there is no law.

24

And those who are Christ's have put to death on the cross the flesh with its passions and its evil desires.

25

If we are living by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us be guided.

26

Let us not be full of self-glory, making one another angry, having envy of one another.

ASV
“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control; against such there is no law. And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof. If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk. Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another. ”
