2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that aif you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised athat he is a debtor to keep the whole law.
4 aYou have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; byou have fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit eagerly await for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For ain Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but bfaith working through love.
Love Fulfills the Law
7 You aran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
8 This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you.
9 aA little leaven leavens the whole lump.
10 I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
11 And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, awhy do I still suffer persecution? Then bthe offense of the cross has ceased.
12 aI could wish that those bwho trouble you would even cut themselves off!
