1 Stand firm, and do not be willing to be again held by the yoke of servitude.
2 Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if you have been circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.
3 For I again testify, about every man circumcising himself, that he is obligated to act according to the entire law.
4 You are being emptied of Christ, you who are being justified by the law. You have fallen from grace.
5 For in spirit, by faith, we await the hope of justice.
6 For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails over anything, but only faith which works through charity.
7 You have run well. So what has impeded you, that you would not obey the truth?
