          16So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
          17For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want.
          18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

          19The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery;
          20idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions,
          21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
