Galatians 6:12-17

12Those who want to make a good impression in the flesh are the ones who would compel you to be circumcised  — but only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.

13For even the circumcised don’t keep the law themselves, and yet they want you to be circumcised in order to boast about your flesh.

14But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The world has been crucified to me through the cross, and I to the world.

15For both circumcision and uncircumcision mean nothing; what matters instead is a new creation.

16May peace come to all those who follow this standard, and mercy even to the Israel of God!

17From now on, let no one cause me trouble, because I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
