Galatians 5:13 In-Context

11 And as for me, brothers, if I am still preaching that circumcision is necessary, why am I still being persecuted? If that were the case, my preaching about the execution-stake would cause no offense whatever.
12 I wish the people who are bothering you would go the whole way and castrate themselves!
13 For, brothers, you were called to be free. Only do not let that freedom become an excuse for allowing your old nature to have its way. Instead, serve one another in love.
14 For the whole of the Torah is summed up in this one sentence: "Love your neighbor as yourself";k
15 but if you go on snapping at each other and tearing each other to pieces, watch out, or you will be destroyed by each other!
