Galatians 5

Paul tells the Galatians that Christ has set them free, so they must not return to slavery under the law. Freedom is not an excuse for the flesh but a call to serve one another in love. He contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience and more.
