Galatians 5:11-13
New American Standard Bible
11 But as for me, brothers and sisters, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still (A)persecuted? Then (B)the stumbling block of the cross has been eliminated. 12 I wish that (C)those who are troubling you would even [a](D)emasculate themselves.
13 For you were called to (E)freedom, brothers and sisters; (F)only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but (G)serve one another through love.
