Galatians 5:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 [a]Would to God they were even cut off which do [b]disquiet you.
13 For brethren, ye have been called unto liberty: [c]only use not your liberty as an occasion unto the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14 [d]For [e]all the Law is fulfilled in one word, which is this, (A)Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
