New King James Version
14 For (A)all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: (B)“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!
Walking in the Spirit
16 I say then: (C)Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For (D)the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, (E)so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But (F)if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Galatians 5:14-18
Amplified Bible
14 For the whole Law [concerning human relationships] is fulfilled in one precept, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, you shall have an unselfish concern for others and do things for their benefit].”(A) 15 But if you bite and devour one another [in bickering and strife], watch out that you [along with your entire fellowship] are not consumed by one another.
16 But I say, walk habitually in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the [a]sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts]. 17 For the sinful nature has its desire which is opposed to the Spirit, and the [desire of the] Spirit opposes the [b]sinful nature; for these [two, the sinful nature and the Spirit] are in direct opposition to each other [continually in conflict], so that you [as believers] do not [always] do whatever [good things] you want to do. 18 But if you are guided and led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the Law.

New International Version
14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[a](A) 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit,(B) and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.(C) 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh.(D) They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[b] you want.(E) 18 But if you are led by the Spirit,(F) you are not under the law.(G)

- Romans 13:8 Debt is generally to be avoided, but Paul probably is addressing debt to individuals with whom one has a personal relationship.
- Romans 13:8 The key to understanding this and other statements about love is to know that this love (the Greek word agape) is not so much a matter of emotion as it is of doing things for the benefit of another person, that is, having an unselfish concern for another and a willingness to seek the best for other believers.
