I've been really into 'Galatians' lately... especially toward the end...
"...ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another..."
"...walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would."
"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts."
"If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit."
"Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another."
"...if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted."
"Bear ye one another's burdens..."
"...if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself."
"...whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap..."
"...let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
finally, in his closing, Paul says...
"But got forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world."

Gal 2:19 - :20
"For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
