Galatians 5:9 in Context — Galatians 5

7 Vosotros corríais bien: ¿quién os embarazó para no obedecer á la verdad?

8 Esta persuasión no [es] de aquel que os llama.

9 Un poco de levadura leuda toda la masa.

10 Yo confío de vosotros en el Señor, que ninguna otra cosa sentiréis: mas el que os inquieta, llevará el juicio, quienquiera que él sea.

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