Galatians 5:12-16

12I wish that 1those who are troubling you would even 23mutilate themselves.

13For you were called to 4freedom, brethren; 5only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love 6serve one another. 14For 7the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “8You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15But if you 9bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

16But I say, 10walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out 11the desire of the flesh.
