Galatians 5:7-15

7You were running well; who prevented you from obeying the truth?

8This persuasion does not come from the one who calls you!

9A little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise!

10I am confident in the Lord that you will accept no other view. But the one who is confusing you will pay the penalty, whoever he may be.

11Now, brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.

12I wish those agitators would go so far as to castrate themselves!

13For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to indulge your flesh, but through love serve one another.

14For the whole law can be summed up in a single commandment, namely, “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”

15However, if you continually bite and devour one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.
