Galatians 5:2-11

2Listen—I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Messiah will be of no benefit to you.

3Again I testify to every man who lets himself be circumcised, that he is obligated to keep the whole Torah.

4You who are trying to be justified by Torah have been cut off from Messiah; you have fallen away from grace.

5For through the Ruach, by faith, we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.

6For in Messiah Yeshua, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any meaning—but only trust and faithfulness expressing itself through love.

7You were running a great race! Who blocked you from following the truth?

8This detour doesn’t come from the One who calls you.

9A little hametz works its way through the whole batch of dough!

10I am confident in the Lord that you will not think otherwise. But the one who is confusing you will pay the penalty, whoever he is.

11As for me, brothers and sisters, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case, the stumbling block of the cross has been eliminated.
