Galatians 5:7-16

New King James Version

Love Fulfills the Law

⁷ You ^(A)ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? ⁸ This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. ^9 (B)A little leaven leavens the whole lump. ¹⁰ I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.

¹¹ And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, ^(C)why do I still suffer persecution? Then ^(D)the offense of the cross has ceased. ^12 (E)I could wish that those ^(F)who trouble you would even ^[a]cut themselves off!

¹³ For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only ^(G)do not use liberty as an ^(H)opportunity for the flesh, but ^(I)through love serve one another. ¹⁴ For ^(J)all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: ^(K)“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁵ But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!

Walking in the Spirit

¹⁶ I say then: ^(L)Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
