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.
