Being led by God’s spirit

Gal 5:16–26

5:16 Being led by God’s spirit

16 I’ll tell you: allow yourselves to be led by the spirit, and then your earthly desires won’t triumph, 17 because our earthly desires oppose the spirit, and the spirit opposes our earthly desires—they oppose each other, so that’s why you end up doing things that you didn’t really want to do.[ref] 18 But if you’re being led by the spirit then you’re not trying to earn your way to God by obeying all of Mosheh’s (Moses’) rules.

19 The actions that come from our earthly desires include: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, strife, jealousies, rages, selfish ambitions, arguing, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and other similar things which I’ve mentioned previously. And as I also said previously, the people that do these things won’t be inheriting God’s kingdom.

22 But the end result of having God’s spirit is to show love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 gentleness, and self-control—none of Mosheh’s laws are against any of these! 24 And for the messiah Yeshua’s (Jesus’; Grk. Yesus’) apprentices, earthly desires need to be executed on a post, along with their passions and lusts. 25 If we’re being led by God’s spirit in our living, then we should also be aligning our values by the spirit. 26 We have to take care not to become conceited, not to provoke each other, and not to envy each other.

16 But I _am _saying, be _walking by_the_spirit, and by _no _means may_ not _accomplish the_desire of_the_flesh.

17 For/Because the flesh is _desiring against the spirit, and the the_spirit against the flesh, because/for these is _opposing to _one _another, in _order _that whatever things if you _all _may_ not _be _wanting, you _all _may _be _doing these things.

18 But if you _all _are _being _led by_the_spirit, you _all _are not under the_law.

19 And manifest is the works of _the flesh, which is sexual _immorality, impurity, wantonness,

20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, rages, selfish _ambitions, dissensions, sects,

21 envies, drunkennesses, carousings, and the similar things to _these, which I _am _previously _saying to _you _all, as I _previously _said, that the ones the such things doing, ˓will˒_ not _be _inheriting the_kingdom of_god.

22 But the fruit of _the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

23 gentleness, self-control, against the such things, there _is no law.

24 And the ones of_ the _chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), executed _on _a _stake the flesh with its passions and the desires.

25 If we _are _living by_the_spirit, we _may_ also _be _aligning by_the_spirit.

26 We _may_ not _be _becoming conceited, provoking one _another, envying to _one _another.

Rom 7:15-23:

15 I don’t know what’s going on, because I do what I don’t want to do, and I end up doing what I hate.[ref] 16 So if I do something that I didn’t want to do, then I’m agreeing with the Law that it’s good, 17 and it’s no longer me that’s doing it, but the sin that’s in me. 18 I’m aware that good isn’t in my physical body, because I want to do good but I can’t. 19 I don’t do the good that I want to do, but rather I do the evil that I don’t want to do, 20 so if I’m doing what I don’t want to do, then it’s not me doing it, but it’s the sin in me that does it.

21 As a result, I’ve discovered the principle that when I want to do good, actually there’s evil in me, 22 because I’m happily accepting God’s Law on the inside, 23 but I’m observing another law in my body parts, fighting against my mind and keeping me imprisoned in sin’s law, which is in my body parts.

15 For/Because what I _am _producing, not I _am _knowing, because/for not what I _am _wanting, this I _am _doing, but what I _am _hating, this I _am _practicing.

16 But if what not I _am _wanting, this I _am _practicing, I _am _agreeing _with to _the law that it _is good.

17 And right _now no _longer I am _producing it, but the dwelling _in in me sin.

18 For/Because I _have _known that not is _dwelling in me, this is in the flesh of _me, good, because/for that to _be _wanting is _dwelling _with me, but that to _be _producing the good is not.

19 For/Because not what I _am _wanting, I _am _practicing good, but what not I _am _wanting the_evil, this I _am _doing.

20 But if what not I _am _wanting, this I _am _practicing, no _longer I am _producing it, but the dwelling in me sin.

21 I _am _finding consequently the law, in _which wanting me to _be _doing the good, that in _me the evil is _dwelling.

22 For/Because I _am _joyfully _concurring in _the law of_ the _god, according _to the inside person,

23 but I _am _seeing another law in the members of _me, warring _against against _the law of _the mind of _me, and making _captive me in the law of_ the _sin, which being in the members of _me.
