Galatians 5:13-15

Life by the Spirit

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a] ; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b]
15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
