Galatians 5:14 Context
12I would they were euen cut off which trouble you. 13For brethren, ye haue beene called vnto liberty, onely vse not libertie for an occasion to the flesh, but by loue serue one another. 14For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, euen in this: Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. 15But if yee bite and deuoure one another, take heed ye be not consumed one of another. 16This I say then, Walke in the spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
