2. Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Messiah will profit you nothing.
3. Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4. You are alienated from Messiah, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
5. For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
6. For in Messiah Yeshua neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
7. You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
8. This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
9. A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
10. I have confidence towards you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgement, whoever he is.
11. But I, brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
12. I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
13. For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.
14. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.”
