10. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the household of faith.
11. See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
12. As many as are wanting to make a good showing in the flesh, these are attempting to compel you to be circumcised, only so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13. For not even those who are circumcised observe the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised in order that they may boast in your flesh.
14. But as for me, may it never be that I boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15. For neither is circumcision anything nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
16. And all those who follow this rule, peace and mercy be on them and on the Israel of God.
17. Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I carry on my body the marks of Jesus.
18. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
