Galatians 6:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Galatians 6:14

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.
