Galatians 5:15 Context
13For brethren, ye haue beene called vnto liberty, onely vse not libertie for an occasion to the flesh, but by loue serue one another. 14For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, euen in this: Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. 15But if yee bite and deuoure one another, take heed ye be not consumed one of another. 16This I say then, Walke in the spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that yee cannot doe the things that yee would.
