Galatians 5:12-14
Tree of Life Version
12 I only wish those who are agitating you would castrate themselves![a]
Walking by the Ruach
13 Brothers and sisters, you were called to freedom—only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole Torah can be summed up in a single saying: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Life by the Spirit
13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.(B) But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a];(C) rather, serve one another(D) humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b](E)
