Guidelines for Participation

This is meant to be an open forum for people to post their thoughts about the Scripture that is given. This is NOT meant to be a method for evangelizing anyone to any particular religion. It is also not a place for people to bash others. Any negative post will be removed by moderator. Also, please be mindful of others. If your post has any vulgar content (language, references, innuendo, etc) it will be removed as well.

The passage will be referenced with the hopes that people will pray in the Lectio tradition and then post in the "comment" section the insights that they have encountered. Thanks!

Unless otherwise noted, all Scripture passages are taken from the NAB.

Galatians 5:16-26


I say, then: live by the Spirit and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh. 

For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you want.
1718But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.19Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness,20idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions,21occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.22In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,23gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.24Now those who belong to Christ [Jesus] have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires.25If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.26Let us not be conceited, provoking one another, envious of one another.
