Galatians 5:7-15

New American Standard Bible

⁷You were ^(A)running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? ⁸This persuasion did not come from ^(B)Him who calls you. ⁹^(C)A little ^[a]leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. ¹⁰^(D)I have confidence ^[b]in you in the Lord, that you ^(E)will adopt no other view; but the one who is ^(F)disturbing you will bear the punishment, whoever he is. ¹¹But as for me, brothers and sisters, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still ^(G)persecuted? Then ^(H)the stumbling block of the cross has been eliminated. ¹²I wish that ^(I)those who are troubling you would even ^[c]^(J)emasculate themselves.

¹³For you were called to ^(K)freedom, brothers and sisters; ^(L)only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but ^(M)serve one another through love. ¹⁴For ^(N)the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “^(O)You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁵But if you ^(P)bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.
