Galatians 5:2-11

2Behold I, 1Paul, say to you that if you receive 2circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3And I 3testify again to every man who receives 4circumcision, that he is under obligation to 5keep the whole Law. 4You have been severed from Christ, you who 6are seeking to be justified by law; you have 7fallen from grace. 5For we 8through the Spirit, 9by faith, are 10waiting for the hope of righteousness. 6For in 11Christ Jesus 12neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but 13faith working through love.

7You were 14running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8This persuasion did not come from 15Him who calls you. 9 16A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. 10 17I have confidence 18in you in the Lord that you 19will adopt no other view; but the one who is 20disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. 11But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still 21persecuted? Then 22the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.
