Galatians 5:15
Compare all
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.”  
15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!

Walking in the Spirit

16 I say then: aWalk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  
17 For athe flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, bso that you do not do the things that you wish.  
18 But aif you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Galatians 5:15

If ye bite and devour one another - These Churches seem to have been in a state of great distraction; there were continual altercations among them. They had fallen from the grace of the Gospel; and, as Christ no longer dwelt in their hearts by faith, pride, anger, ill-will, and all unkind and uncharitable tempers, took possession of their souls, and they were in consequence alternately destroying each other. Nothing is so destructive to the peace of man, and to the peace of the soul, as religious disputes; where they prevail, religion in general has little place.
