Galatians 5:16 in Context — Galatians 5

14 Pois toda a Lei se cumpre em uma só regra, que é: Amarás ao teu próximo como a ti mesmo.

15 Se, porém, mordeis e devorais uns aos outros, cuidado para não vos destruirdes mutuamente.

16 Mas eu digo: andai no Espírito, e não executeis o mau desejo da carne.

17 Pois a carne deseja contra o Espírito, e o Espírito contra a carne; e estes se opõem mutuamente, para que não façais o que quereis.

18 Mas, se sois guiados pelo Espírito, não estais debaixo da Lei.
