(Gal. 5:16-18) But I say, walk by the
Spirit, and you will not carry out the
desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets
its desire against the Spirit, and the
Spirit against the flesh; for these are
in opposition to one another, so that
you may not do the things that you
please. But if you are led by the Spirit,
you are not under the Law.

You shall love the Lord your God with

neighbor as yourself. On these two
commandments depend the whole Law
and the Prophets.

the goal for the prize of the upward
call of God in Christ Jesus.
