Galatians 5:13 in Context — Galatians 5

11 Pour moi, frères, si je prêche encore la circoncision, pourquoi suis-je encore persécuté? Le scandale de la croix a donc disparu!

12 Puissent-ils être retranchés, ceux qui mettent le trouble parmi vous!

13 Frères, vous avez été appelés à la liberté, seulement ne faites pas de cette liberté un prétexte de vivre selon la chair; mais rendez-vous, par la charité, serviteurs les uns des autres.

14 Car toute la loi est accomplie dans une seule parole, dans celle-ci: Tu aimeras ton prochain comme toi-même.

15 Mais si vous vous mordez et vous dévorez les uns les autres, prenez garde que vous ne soyez détruits les uns par les autres.
