  ¹¹But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

  ¹²I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.

  ¹³For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

  ¹⁴For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

  ¹⁵But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.

  ¹⁶But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.

  ¹⁷For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

  ¹⁸But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

  ¹⁹Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

  ²⁰idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

  ²¹envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.

  ¹²While he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

  ¹³He stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.

  ¹⁴He commanded him to tell no one, “But go your way, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”

  ¹⁵But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

  ¹⁶But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.
