Galatians 5:21

Read in context

Galatians 5:19–23 · Berean Standard Bible

19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery;

20 idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions,

21 and 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.

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.
