Galatians 6:11-18

11See with what large letters I 1am writing to you 2with my own hand. 12Those who desire 3to make a good showing in the flesh try to 4compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they 5will not be persecuted 6for the cross of Christ. 13For those who 7are circumcised do not even 8keep 9the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may 10boast in your flesh. 14But 11may it never be that I would boast, 12except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, 13through 14which the world has been crucified to me, and 15I to the world. 15For 16neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a 17new 18creation. 16And those who will 19walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the 20Israel of God.

17From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the 21brand-marks of Jesus.

18 22The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be 23with your spirit, 24brethren. Amen.
