Galatians 5:1-7

1For freedom, Christ set us free. Stand firm, then, and don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery.

2Take note! I, Paul, am telling you that if you get yourselves circumcised, Christ will not benefit you at all.

3Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to do the entire law.

4You who are trying to be justified by the law are alienated from Christ; you have fallen from grace.

5For we eagerly await through the Spirit, by faith, the hope of righteousness.

6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faith working through love.

7You were running well. Who prevented you from being persuaded regarding the truth?
