Galatians 5:7
Compare all
5 For we through the Spirit eagerly await for the hope of righteousness by faith.  
6 For ain Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but bfaith working through love.  

Love Fulfills the Law

7 You aran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?  
8 This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you.
9 aA little leaven leavens the whole lump.  
10 I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
11 And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, awhy do I still suffer persecution? Then bthe offense of the cross has ceased.  
12 aI could wish that those bwho trouble you would even cut themselves off!  
13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only ado not use liberty as an bopportunity for the flesh, but cthrough love serve one another.  
14 For aall the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: b“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
