Galatians 6:12-16

12Those who want to make a good showing in external matters are trying to force you to be circumcised. They do so only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.

13For those who are circumcised do not obey the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your flesh.

14But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

15For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; the only thing that matters is a new creation!

16And all who will behave in accordance with this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on the Israel of God.
