Galatians 6:12-16

12All who want 1to make a good showing in the flesh try to 2compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they 3will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13For those who 4are circumcised do not even 5keep 6the Law themselves, but they want to have you circumcised so that they may 7boast in your flesh. 14But 8 9far be it from me to 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 all who will follow this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the 17Israel of God.
