Gal 5:16
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.…Ma tahan öelda: Käige Vaimus, siis te ei täida lihalikke himusid.
17 Sest lihalik loomus himustab Vaimu vastu ja Vaim lihaliku vastu, need on
teineteise vastased, nii et teie ei saa teha seda, mida tahaksite.
walking by the Spirit" is not something we do in order to get the Spirit's help, but rather, just as the phrase implies, it is something we do by the enablement of the Spirit.
he Holy Spirit produces in us desires for God's way that are stronger than our fleshly desires, and thus he causes us to walk in God's statutes.
The Spirit leads us by creating desires to obey God, and we walk by fulfilling those desires in action.
A new heart I will give you and a new spirit I will put within you . . . I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes.
The "fruit of the Spirit" is what appears in your life when you "walk by the Spirit." Therefore what we have in these verses are three images of the Spirit's work in our life: "walking by the Spirit" in verse 16, "being led by the Spirit" in verse 18, and bearing "the fruit of the Spirit" in verse 22.
