Abstract

Galatians 5:16-26 contains ethical teachings about living by the Spirit where believers who are led by the Holy Spirit will produce the fruit of the Spirit in their daily lives. Freedom is granted to believers, but this does not mean that believers can do whatever they please, but must be in accordance with God's will. The research method used to explore the text of Galatians 5:16-26 is the Socio-Rhetorical Interpretation (SRI) method, namely a multidimensional approach by understanding the meaning of the text more deeply and comprehensively in a systematic literary and rhetorical, historical, sociological, ideological and theological approach. Through the socio-rhetorical interpretation, it is clearly seen how Paul describes the conflict between the desires of the Spirit and the desires of the flesh to show believers that believers must continue to struggle to implement the freedom they have received with the help of the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who enables believers to become children of God who live in love and are able to resist the desires of the flesh. This research serves as an ethical teaching for believers to live in love.
