Who should be served in love?

Galatians 5:13 (ESV)

13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

The Galatians are specifically told to serve one another in love (John 13:2, John 13:5, John 13:12).1 Loving service should characterize the life and fellowship of the church, not jealousy and fighting (Galatians 5:15). Though the focus of Paul’s encouragement is on doing good to other Christian believers, our love/service should also extend to those outside the church (Galatians 6:10).2
