Here’s a poetic adaptation of Galatians 5:21, 24–26 (CJB) as a sonnet, and verses 22–23 as a haiku—each shaped to honor the rhythm and spirit of the original text:

๐️ Galatians 5:21, 24–26 (CJB) — Sonnet
> The acts of flesh bring ruin, wrath, and shame—
> Idolatry, strife, envy, drunken pride.
> Such deeds deny the kingdom’s holy claim,
> For those who sow in sin shall be denied.
>
> But those who now belong to Yeshua’s name
> Have crucified the flesh, its lust and fire.
> The Spirit leads—no longer wild or tame—
> We walk in step with heaven’s true desire.
>
> Let us not boast, provoke, or envy still,
> Nor seek vain glory in the sacred race.
> The Spirit’s fruit fulfills the Father’s will,
> And draws us deeper into love and grace.
>
> So let us live by Spirit, not by pride—
> In humble peace, with Yeshua as guide.

๐ Galatians 5:22–23 (CJB) — Haiku
> Love, joy, peace abide—
> Patience, kindness, goodness bloom,
> Spirit’s gentle tide.

If you'd like to adapt these into chant, song, or visual metaphor for your sanctuary liturgy, I’d be honored to help. We could even explore Hebrew echoes or numerological layers within the fruit of the Spirit.
