Galatians 5:18 in context

The verses around it, from Galatians 5.

14 The entire law is fulfilled in a single decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

15 But if you keep on biting and devouring one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.

16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

17 For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want.

18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery;

20 idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions,

21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
