Galatians 6:12-16

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