Galatians 5:13 in Context — Galatians 5

11 Y yo, hermanos, si aun predico la circuncisión, ¿por qué padezco persecución todavía? pues que quitado es el escándalo de la cruz.

12 Ojalá fuesen también cortados los que os inquietan.

13 Porque vosotros, hermanos, á libertad habéis sido llamados; solamente que no [uséis] la libertad como ocasión á la carne, sino servíos por amor los unos á los otros.

14 Porque toda la ley en aquesta sola palabra se cumple: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.

15 Y si os mordéis y os coméis los unos á los otros, mirad que también no os consumáis los unos á los otros.
