the

Spirit

,

and

the

Spirit

against

the

flesh

:

for

these

are

contrary

the

one

to

the

other

,

that

ye

cannot

do

even

those

things

which

ye

wish

.

the

deeds

manifest

,

which

are

:

adulteries

fornications

,

impurities

,

filthiness

,

idolatries

sorceries

murders

hatreds

their

with

its

vices

and

lusts

.
