Galatians 5:16

But I say, live ¹  by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh. ² 

So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

So I advise you to live according to your new life in the Holy Spirit. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.

My counsel is this: Live freely, animated and motivated by God's Spirit. Then you won't feed the compulsions of selfishness.

But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.

Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh.

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

But I say, live ¹  by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh. ² 

¹ tn Grk “walk” (a common NT idiom for how one conducts one’s life or how one behaves).

² tn On the term “flesh” (once in this verse and twice in v. 17) see the note on the same word in Gal 5:13.
