New King James Version
Galatians 5:9-14
New King James Version
9 (A)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, (B)why do I still suffer persecution? Then (C)the offense of the cross has ceased. 12 (D)I could wish that those (E)who trouble you would even [a]cut themselves off!
13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only (F)do not use liberty as an (G)opportunity for the flesh, but (H)through love serve one another. 14 For (I)all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: (J)“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Galatians 5:9-14
New International Version
9 “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”(A) 10 I am confident(B) in the Lord that you will take no other view.(C) The one who is throwing you into confusion,(D) whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty. 11 Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted?(E) In that case the offense(F) of the cross has been abolished. 12 As for those agitators,(G) I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
Life by the Spirit
13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.(H) But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a];(I) rather, serve one another(J) humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b](K)
