11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. |
12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. |
13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. |
14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. |
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. |
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. |
17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. |
18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. |
