Mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix iustus sit securus?

Fruits

Now the works of the flesh are obvious:
immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like.

I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is
love
joy
peace
patience
kindness
generosity
faithfulness
gentleness
self-control.
Against such there is no law.

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus
have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.
Galatians 5:19-25
