Galatians 2:12-14

12For before certain men came from James, lhe was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing mthe circumcision party.
Or  fearing those of the circumcision
13And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. 14But when I saw that their oconduct was not in step with pthe truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas qbefore them all, “If you, though a Jew, rlive like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

Galatians 4:9-11

Galatians 5:1-6

Christ Has Set Us Free

1For xfreedom Christ has yset us free; zstand firm therefore, and do not submit again to aaa yoke of abslavery.

2Look: I, Paul, say to you that acif you accept circumcision, adChrist will be of no advantage to you. 3I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that aehe is obligated to keep the whole law. 4You are afsevered from Christ, agyou who would be justified
Or counted righteous
by the law; aiyou have fallen away from grace.
5For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly ajwait for the hope of righteousness. 6For in Christ Jesus akneither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but alonly faith working through love.

Galatians 6:13-14

13For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14But far be it from me to boast amexcept in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which
Or through whom
the world aohas been crucified to me, and I to the world.

blameless.
7But aywhatever gain I had, azI counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
