I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that those who practice such things would not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith, ²³ meekness (mildness), self-control; against such there is no law. ²⁴ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have impaled the flesh with its passions and lusts.
