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.
