10-15 - Galatians 5 9-15

scriptures paraphrased to post 

   🕊️a reading & study 🕊️

9 - A little leaven (in this case, untruth) leavens the whole lump! 10 I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view, and the one who is troubling you will bear the consequences, whoever it is. {What a loNg battle trying to keep the truth pure, unleavened, unchanged.. and what a battle. Untruth and make that plural, covers the world like a wet, heavy quilt set low in the atmosphere. Piercing through is like whistling into howling winds?}

     11 But if I were still preaching circumcision/the Law, why am I being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed. 12 I wish whoever is unsettling you would go all the way and emasculate theirselves!

     13 For you were called to freedom. But don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the selfish nature and transgression, but through love, to serve one another. 14 The whole and entire law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall LOVE” your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out! That you are not consumed by one another! {Bound to happen if the world’s politics comes BETWEEN believers.. the suspicion, accusations, labeling.. And it’s not that we must be viewpoint clones in order for peace, unity, and LOVE to be preserved. To be lockstep would be cultish. We need to always be examining our own heart and fruits. Yes? Otherwise we may deceive ourselves?}
