Galatians 6:11-18 (Epistle, Sunday Before)
11 |
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. |
