Galatians 5:7-15

7You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?

8This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

9A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

10I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view, and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is.

11But if I, brothers, still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.

12I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!

13For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

14For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

15But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
