Galatians 6:11-18

11See with what large letters I have written to you 1with my own hand! 12All who want 2to make a good showing in the flesh try to 3compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they 4will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13For those who 5are circumcised do not even 6keep 7the Law themselves, but they want to have you circumcised so that they may 8boast in your flesh. 14But 9 10far be it from me to boast, 11except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, 12through 13which the world has been crucified to me, and 14I to the world. 15For 15neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a 16new 17creation. 16And all who will follow this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the 18Israel of God.

17From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the 19 20marks of Jesus.

18 21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be 22with your spirit, 23brothers and sisters. Amen.
