Galatians 5:13 in Context — Galatians 5

11 Mas se eu, irmãos, ainda prego a circuncisão, por que, então, sou perseguido? Então a ofensa da cruz está anulada!

12 Gostaria que aqueles que estão vos perturbando castrassem a si mesmos.

13 Pois vós, irmãos, fostes chamados para a liberdade. Somente não [useis] a liberdade como oportunidade para a carne; em vez disso, servi-vos uns aos outros pelo amor.

14 Pois toda a Lei se cumpre em uma só regra, que é: Amarás ao teu próximo como a ti mesmo.

15 Se, porém, mordeis e devorais uns aos outros, cuidado para não vos destruirdes mutuamente.
