Galatians 5:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² I wish the people who are bothering you would ·castrate themselves [make themselves eunuchs; ^Lcut it off]! [^CPaul sarcastically says that if circumcision is so helpful, why not go even further?]

¹³ My brothers and sisters, God called you to ·be free [^Lfreedom], but do not use your freedom as an ·excuse to do what pleases [opportunity/occasion for] your ·sinful self [sinful nature; flesh]. [^LBut; Rather] Serve each other with love. ¹⁴ [^LFor] The whole law is ·made complete [summed up; fulfilled] in this one command: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself [Lev. 19:18].”
