the works ˱of˲_the flesh & sexual_immorality impurity wantonness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of impurity you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [behaves impurely]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
τὰ ἔργα τῆς σαρκός
the works ˱of˲_the flesh
Here Paul speaks of the flesh as if it were a person who has works. He is referring to what a person does as a result of having a sinful human nature. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the things people do because of their sinful natures] or [the things people do because they are sinful]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τῆς σαρκός
˱of˲_the flesh
See how you translated flesh in [5:13](../05/13.md) and [5:16](../05/16.md).
5:19 When you follow . . . the results are (literally The works of the flesh are): An emphasis on law-keeping and sinful actions both flow from trying to live apart from the power of God’s Spirit.

• The list begins with sexual immorality; in contrast, the list of Christian virtues begins with love (Gal 5:22). All kinds of sexual misconduct were common (cp. Rom 1:24-27; 1 Cor 5:1; 6:15-18; 2 Cor 12:21; 2 Pet 3:10, 18). Sexual immorality was connected in paganism with fertility worship (cp. Rev 2:14, 20).
• Moral impurity removes holiness and makes fellowship with a holy God impossible (see Matt 23:27; Rom 6:19; 2 Cor 12:21; Eph 5:3; Col 3:5; 1 Thes 4:7).
