2
Here is what I, Paul, say to you. Don't let yourselves be circumcised. If you do, Christ won't be of any value to you.
3
I say it again. Every man who lets himself be circumcised must obey the whole law.
4
Some of you are trying to be made right with God by obeying the law. You have been separated from Christ. You have fallen away from God's grace.
5
But we expect to be made completely holy because of our faith in Christ. Through the Holy Spirit we wait in hope.
6
Circumcision and uncircumcision aren't worth anything to those who believe in Christ Jesus. The only thing that really counts is faith that shows itself through love.
