Galatians 5:13-16 English Standard Version
13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. (A)Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love (B)serve one another. 14 For (C)the whole law is fulfilled in one word: (D)“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you (E)bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
Keep in Step with the Spirit
16 But I say, (F)walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify (G)the desires of the flesh.
