6. Memorize the key verse or verses in the passage.
7. Obey what God tells you to do.

Let’s try it. Galatians 5: 16 – 26.
16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful
17
nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the
Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each
other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit,
18
you are not under law.
19
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and
20
debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage,
selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did
21
before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness
23
22
and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified
24
the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the
25
26
Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
