See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!

¹²

As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

¹³

For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

¹⁴

But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

¹⁵

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.

¹⁶

And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

¹⁷

From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁸

Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
