Glory Only in the Cross

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, aonly 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 across of our Lord Jesus Christ, by1 whom the world has been crucified to me, and bI to the world.  
15 For ain Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.  

Blessing and a Plea

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.
