Galatians 5:12-14
EasyEnglish Bible
12 Those people who are causing trouble and want to circumcise you should cut their own bodies! Yes, that is what they should do!
Live by God's Spirit
13 My Christian friends, God has chosen you to serve him as free people. But you are still weak and human. So you are not free to do anything that you might want to do. Instead, you must serve one another, because you love each other. 14 One rule brings together all the rules in God's Law. That one rule says: ‘Love other people as much as you love yourself.’[a]
