These are contrary one to the other, so that ye can not do what ye woulde. 18 But and yf ye be ledde of the spirite, then are ye not vnder the lawe. 19 The deedes of the flesshe are manifest, which are these, adulterie, fornication, vncleannesse, wantonnesse, 20 Worshippyng of images, witchcrafte, hatred, variaunce, zeale, wrath, strife, seditions, sectes, 21 Enuyinges, murthers, drunkennesse, gluttonies, and such lyke: of the whiche I tell you before, as I haue tolde you in tyme past, that they which do suche thinges, shall not inherite the kingdome of God. 22 But the fruite of the spirite is, loue, ioye, peace, long sufferyng, gentlenesse, goodnesse, fayth, 23 Mekenesse, temperauncie: agaynst such there is no lawe. 24 They truely that are Christes, haue crucified the flesshe, with the affections and lustes.

If any man haue not the spirite of Christe, the same is none of his. 10 And yf Christe be in you, the body is dead because of sinne: but the spirite is lyfe for ryghteousnesse sake. 11 But, yf ye spirite of hym that raysed vp Iesus from the dead, dwell in you: euen he that raised vp Christe from the dead, shall also quicken your mortall bodyes, because that his spirite dwelleth in you. 12 Therfore brethren, we are detters, not to the fleshe, to lyue after the fleshe. 13 For if ye liue after ye fleshe, ye shall dye: But if ye through the spirite, do mortifie the deedes of the body, ye shall lyue.
