Galatians 5:22-26

Stand Firm in Freedom: Faith Working Through Love and Life by the Spirit

Paul commands the Galatians to stand firm in Christ-given freedom, warns that receiving circumcision as necessary severs one from Christ's gracious ground of righteousness, clarifies that faith expresses itself through love, and then contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit.

26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying one another.
