Galatians 5:2-11

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?

8This persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.

9A little leaven leavens the whole batch of dough.

10I myself am persuaded in the Lord you will not accept any other view. But whoever it is that is confusing you will pay the penalty.

11Now brothers and sisters, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.
