Galatians 5:18-21 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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

19. What the sinful nature does is clear. It enjoys sexual sins, impure acts and wild living.

20. It worships statues of gods. It also worships evil powers. It is full of hatred and fighting. It is full of jealousy and fits of anger. It is interested only in getting ahead. It stirs up trouble. It separates people into their own little groups.

21. It wants what others have. It gets drunk and takes part in wild parties. It does many things of that kind. I warn you now as I did before. People who live like that will not receive God's kingdom.
