1. For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery.
2. Listen! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you at all!
3. And I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
4. You who are trying to be declared righteous by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace!
