Galatians 5:13-26 (NRSV):

> 
> 13 **For you were called to freedom**, brothers and sisters; **only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. 14 For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”** 15 If, however, you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.
> 
> 
> The Works of the Flesh
> 
> 
> 16 **Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh**. 17 **For what the flesh desires is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to the flesh**; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you want. 18 **But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the law**. 19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, 21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
> 
> 
> The Fruit of the Spirit
> 
> 
> 22 By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. **There is no law against such things**. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 **If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit**. 26 Let us not become conceited, competing against one another, envying one another.

This passage of Galatians touches on several topics, such as the battle between Spirit and Flesh, the fruit of the Spirit, the works of the Flesh, the preeminence of love, etc. But in particular, verse 18 says *"but if you are led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the law"*. What does it mean to not be subject to the law?
