11. And as for me, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still suffering persecution? For then the scandal of the Cross would be made empty.
12. And I wish that those who disturb you would be torn away.
13. For you, brothers, have been called to liberty. Only you must not make liberty into an occasion for the flesh, but instead, serve one another through the charity of the Spirit.
14. For the entire law is fulfilled by one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
15. But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not consumed by one another!
16. So then, I say: Walk in the spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.
17. For the flesh desires against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. And since these are against one another, you may not do whatever you want.
18. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
