Galatians 5:13-26

For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an
opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole Law
is fulfilled in one word, in the statement "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
But if you bite and devour one another, take care lest you be consumed by one another.

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.
For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh;
for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that
you please. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.

Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,
idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions,
factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn
you just as I have forewarned you that those who practice such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong
to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live
by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become boastful, challenging
one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:13-26 (NAS)

Questions:

The whole Law of Moses is fulfilled in one statement: "You shall ______ your _________
as yourself."

Have you put to death, or crucified, the deeds of the flesh in your life?

Easy-to-Read Version:

My brothers [and sisters], God called you to be free. But don't use your freedom
as an excuse to do the things that please your sinful selves. But serve each other
with love. The whole law is made complete in this one command: "Love other people
the same as you love yourself." If you continue hurting each other and tearing each
other apart, be careful! You will completely destroy each other.

So I tell you: Live by following the Spirit. Then you will not do the evil things
your sinful selves want. Our sinful selves want things that are against the Spirit.
The Spirit wants things that are against our sinful selves. These two different
things are against each other. So you don't do the things you really want to do.
But if you let the Spirit lead you, then you are not under law.

The wrong things our sinful self does are clear: doing sexual sins, not being pure,
doing morally bad things, worshiping false gods, doing witchcraft, hating, making
trouble, having jealousy, being very angry, being selfish, making people mad at
each other, making divisions, having envy, being drunk, having wild and wasteful
parties, and doing other things like this. I warn you now like I warned you before:
The people who do these things will not be in God's kingdom.

But the Spirit gives love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self- control. There is no law that can say these things are wrong.
Those people who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified (killed) their own sinful
selves. They have given up their old selfish feelings and the evil things they
wanted to do. We get our new life from the Spirit. So we should follow the Spirit.
We must not be vain (conceited). We must not make trouble with each other. And we
must not be jealous of each other. Galatians 5:13-26 (ERV)
