Galatians 5:1-7

1 1It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore 2keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a 3yoke of slavery.

2Look! I, 4Paul, tell you that if you have yourselves 5circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3And I 6testify again to every man who has himself 7circumcised, that he is obligated to 8keep the whole Law. 4You have been severed from Christ, you who 9are seeking to be justified by the 10Law; you have 11fallen from grace. 5For we, 12through the Spirit, 13by faith, are 14waiting for the hope of righteousness. 6For in 15Christ Jesus 16neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but 17faith working through love.

7You were 18running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?
