Galatians 5:2-6

2Listen carefully! I, Paul, tell you this. If you agree that someone should circumcise you, then Christ will be worth nothing to you.

3I will say it very clearly. Every man who lets someone circumcise him must then obey all the Jewish rules.

4I say this to you people who try to obey the rules of God's Law. If you think that God will accept you as right because you do that, you have turned away from Christ. You no longer agree to accept God's kind gift.

5But if we trust what Christ has done for us, God's Spirit helps us to wait. We are sure that God will accept us as right with him.

6We belong to Christ Jesus. So it does not matter whether anyone has circumcised us or not. The only thing that matters is that we believe in Christ. As a result we will love others in the way that we live.
