Galatians 5:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ But my friends,^[a] why am I still being persecuted if I am still preaching circumcision? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed. ¹² I wish those who unsettle you would castrate themselves!

¹³ For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters;^[b] only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence,^[c] but through love become slaves to one another.
