In Galatians 5:19-21, the apostle Paul lists the works of the flesh as including adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and similar behaviors. 


Paul warns that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. These verses serve as a reminder of the importance of living according to God's will and avoiding sinful behaviors.


 Galatians 5:19-21

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: [a]adultery, [b]fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, [c]murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
