10. I am confident in the Lord that you will not think otherwise. But the one who is confusing you will pay the penalty, whoever he is.
11. As for me, brothers and sisters, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case, the stumbling block of the cross has been eliminated.
12. I only wish those who are agitating you would castrate themselves!
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.”
15. But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not destroyed by one another.
16. But I say, walk by the Ruach, and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.
17. For the flesh sets its desire against the Ruach, but the Ruach sets its desire against the flesh—for these are in opposition to one another, so that you cannot do what you want.
18. But if you are led by the Ruach, you are not under law.
