16 我說,你們當順著聖靈而行,就不放縱肉體的情慾了。 17 因為情慾和聖靈相爭,聖靈和情慾相爭,這兩個是彼此相敵,使你們不能做所願意做的。 18 但你們若被聖靈引導,就不在律法以下。 19 情慾的事都是顯而易見的,就如姦淫、污穢、邪蕩、 20 拜偶像、邪術、仇恨、爭競、忌恨、惱怒、結黨、紛爭、異端、 21 嫉妒(有古卷加:凶殺二字)、醉酒、荒宴等類。我從前告訴你們,現在又告訴你們,行這樣事的人必不能承受 神的國。 22 聖靈所結的果子,就是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、 23 溫柔、節制。這樣的事沒有律法禁止。 24 凡屬基督耶穌的人,是已經把肉體連肉體的邪情私慾同釘在十字架上了。 25 我們若是靠聖靈得生,就當靠聖靈行事。 26 不要貪圖虛名,彼此惹氣,互相嫉妒。
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. ye...: or, fulfil not 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these ; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. affections: or, passions 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
老習慣就像那些堅韌的橡樹葉子,附著在我們的生命中。
當你努力革除壞習慣,卻屢遭失敗時,不要忘了頑強的橡樹。
要破除舊習性,當開始建立好習慣---信靠上帝。

我記得馬斯洛說一段的話:「心若改變 你的態度跟著改變;態度改變 你的習慣跟著改變;習慣改變 你的性格跟著改變;性格改變 你的人生跟著改變。」
