Galatians 5:11-13
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 Now brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross(A) has been abolished. 12 I wish those who are disturbing you might also get themselves castrated!
13 For you were called(B) to be free, brothers; only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love.

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.(D) But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a];(E) rather, serve one another(F) humbly in love.
