Context of Galatians 5:14
12I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion. 13For ye have been called to liberty, brethren; only [do] not [turn] liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; 15but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another. 16But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.
