Galatians 5:7-15

7You were 1running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8This persuasion did not come from 2Him who calls you. 9 3A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. 10 4I have confidence 5in you in the Lord that you 6will adopt no other view; but the one who is 7disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. 11But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still 8persecuted? Then 9the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished. 12I wish that 10those who are troubling you would even 11 12mutilate themselves.

13For you were called to 13freedom, brethren; 14only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love 15serve one another. 14For 16the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “17You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15But if you 18bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.
