In context

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

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

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

¹⁷For 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.

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