Galatians 5:12-14
International Children’s Bible
12 I wish the people who are bothering you would castrate[a] themselves!
13 My brothers, God called you to be free. But do not use your freedom as an excuse to do the things that please your sinful self. Serve each other with love. 14 The whole law is made complete in this one command: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”[b]

- 5:12 castrate To cut off part of the male sex organ. Paul uses this word because it is similar to “circumcision.” Paul wanted to show that he is very upset with the false teachers.
- 5:14 “Love . . . yourself.” Quotation from Leviticus 19:18.
