Galatians 5:16

Walking by the Spirit

15But if you keep on biting and devouring one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.16So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.17For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want.
