19 Now ^bthe works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, ^cdivisions, 21 envy,¹ drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that ^dthose who do² such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But ^ethe fruit of the Spirit is ^flove, joy, peace, patience, ^gkindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 ^hgentleness, ⁱself-control; ^jagainst such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus ^khave crucified the flesh with its ^lpassions and desires.

25 If we live by the Spirit, ^mlet us also keep in step with the Spirit.

36 ^gBe merciful, even as ^hyour Father is merciful.

Judging Others

37 ^ij“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; ^jforgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 ^kgive, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put ^linto your lap. For ^mwith the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
