Galatians 5:2-12

2 Look: I, Paul, say to you that ^aif you accept circumcision, ^bChrist will be of no advantage to you. 3 I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that ^che is obligated to keep the whole law. 4 You are ^dsevered from Christ, ^eyou who would be justified ^{▼▼Or counted righteous} by the law; ^gyou have fallen away from grace. 5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly ^hwait for the hope of righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus ⁱneither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but ^jonly faith working through love.

7 ^kYou were running well. Who hindered you from obeying ^lthe truth? 8 This persuasion is not from ^mhim who calls you. 9 ⁿA little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10 ^oI have confidence in the Lord that you will ^ptake no other view, and ^qthe one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is. 11 But if I, brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters; also verse 13} still preach ^{▼▼Greek proclaim} circumcision, ^twhy am I still being persecuted? In that case ^uthe offense of the cross has been removed. 12 I wish ^vthose who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!
