Galatians 5:7-15

Christian Standard Bible

⁷ You were running well. Who prevented you from being persuaded regarding the truth?^{[a](A) 8} This persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.^{(B) 9} A little leaven^[b] leavens the whole batch of dough. ¹⁰ I myself am persuaded in the Lord you will not accept any other view. But whoever it is that is confusing you will pay the penalty.^{(C) 11} Now brothers and sisters, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross^(D) has been abolished. ¹² I wish those who are disturbing you might also let themselves be mutilated!

¹³ For you were called^(E) to be free, brothers and sisters; only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity^[c] for the flesh, but serve one another through love. ¹⁴ For the whole law is fulfilled^(F) in one statement: Love your neighbor as yourself.^{[d](G) 15} But if you bite and devour^(H) one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.
