Galatians 5:13-15
International Children’s Bible
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.”[a] 15 If you go on hurting each other and tearing each other apart, be careful! You will completely destroy each other.
