10-16 - Galatians 5 16-21

scriptures paraphrased to post 

   🕊️a reading & study 🕊️

16 - So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t gratify the lower nature. 17 For the desires of carnality are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against carnality, for these are opposed to each other. So we cannot do what the lower nature may want. 18 But if we are “led by” the Spirit (of God), we don’t need to be “under” the law. 19 Now the works of the lower nature (the imperfect “human nature with its frailties” and self first pursuits) are evident: sexual immorality [porneía, from pornos] impurity [akatharsía (a-catharsis) - from A - not and katharós - lacks contamination, unmixed, pure; so impure {entropic, corrupt happens}] debauchery [aselgeia - licentiousness, debauchery, inordinate sensuality, lewdness] 20 idolatry [eidólolatria - from eidólon and latreia - image worship (ancient and modern; image/replica/likeness/statue/hologram/psuedo)] sorcery [pharmakeia - sorcery, enchantment] enmity [echthra - hostility, hatred] {so} strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions. 21 Envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I’ve said before, those who do such things are not able to inherit/enter the kingdom of God. {WhiLe we are/were in that state of - being led - by such. Hostility seems to be on the rise? And slithering/has slithered into the collective body of believers, which causes a spirit of dislike, judging, labeling, superiority, even accusing, all such being worldly and carnal. And leads to failure, sufferings and destruction. 🙂have a good day.}
