Galatians 5:16

---

← Galatians 5:15	Galatians 5:16 (KJV)	Galatians 5:17 →
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.	[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.	For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
