I warn you now as I warned you before: Those who do these things will not inherit God’s kingdom. ²² But the ·Spirit produces the fruit of [^Lfruit of the Spirit is] love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, ·faithfulness [or faith], ²³ gentleness, self-control. ·There is no law that says these things are wrong [or No law can oppose such things]. ²⁴ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified ·their own sinful selves [the sinful nature; the flesh]. They have given up ·their old selfish feelings and the evil things they wanted to do [^Lits passions and desires].
