1-15_Christ set us free from those burdensome things that were meant to teach of the Christ who was to come. Our freedom should not be turned into an opportunity to satisfy the flesh. Instead it should be used to serve one another in love.

__16-21_As long as you walk by the Spirit you will not carry out the desires of the flesh. This means you may be free from the law as long as you walk in the Spirit. If you sin, you then come under the condemnation of the law again.

__22-26_There is fruit that comes to our lives when we walk in the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against this fruit there is no law. Those who belong to Jesus crucify the flesh. If we live by the Spirit we will also walk by the Spirit.
