12 I wish everyone who is upsetting you would not only get circumcised, but would cut off much more!
13 My friends, you were chosen to be free. So don't use your freedom as an excuse to do anything you want. Use it as an opportunity to serve each other with love.
14 All the Law says can be summed up in the command to love others as much as you love yourself.
15 But if you keep attacking each other like wild animals, you had better watch out or you will destroy yourselves.
16 If you are guided by the Spirit, you won't obey your selfish desires.
17 The Spirit and your desires are enemies of each other. They are always fighting each other and keeping you from doing what you feel you should.
18 But if you obey the Spirit, the Law of Moses has no control over you.
