Galatians 5:7-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7. You were running well. Who prevented you from obeying the truth?

8. This persuasion did not come from the One who called you.

9. A little yeast leavens the whole lump of dough.

10. I have confidence in the Lord you will not accept any other view. But whoever it is that is confusing you will pay the penalty.

11. Now brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.

12. I wish those who are disturbing you might also get themselves castrated!

13. For you were called to be free, brothers; only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love.
