Charles Spurgeon Commentary Galatians 5:19-21

"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." — Galatians 5:19-21 (ASV)

Which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelling, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Observe that the gospel gives no toleration to sin. Some people tell us that the doctrine of faith is not practical, but they know better, even though they say that. They have only to observe those who are actuated by the principle of faith, and they will find them abounding in good works, while the men who are swayed by the principle of law talk a great deal about works, but have precious little of them in practice. The gospel denounces sin, yes, and kills it; it gives us the force with which we fight against it and overcome it.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, reveling, and such like:

A black catalogue, but sin is very prolific. We must take care that we avoid each one of these works of the flesh, or else we will give no proof that we are led by the Spirit of God and possess the grace of God.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:

The list is always too long to be completed; we are obliged to sum up with a kind of et cetera: "and such like."
