Galatians 5:12-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹² I wish that ^(A)those who are troubling you would even ^[a](B)mutilate themselves.

¹³ For you were called to ^(C)freedom, brethren; ^(D)only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love ^(E)serve one another. ¹⁴ For ^(F)the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “^(G)You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁵ But if you ^(H)bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

¹⁶ But I say, ^(I)walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out ^(J)the desire of the flesh. ¹⁷ For ^(K)the flesh ^[b]sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, ^(L)so that you may not do the things that you ^[c]please.
