1 Christ has set us free for freedom. Therefore, stand firm and don’t submit to the bondage of slavery again.
2 Look, I, Paul, am telling you that if you have yourselves circumcised, having Christ won’t help you.
3 Again I swear to every man who has himself circumcised that he is required to do the whole Law.
4 You people who are trying to be made righteous by the Law have been estranged from Christ. You have fallen away from grace!
5 We eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness through the Spirit by faith.
6 Being circumcised or not being circumcised doesn’t matter in Christ Jesus, but faith working through love does matter.
7 You were running well—who stopped you from obeying the truth?
