4 And if you try to please God by obeying the Law, you have cut yourself off from Christ and his wonderful kindness.
5 But the Spirit makes us sure that God will accept us because of our faith in Christ.
6 If you are a follower of Christ Jesus, it makes no difference whether you are circumcised or not. All that matters is your faith that makes you love others.
7 You were doing so well until someone made you turn from the truth.
8 And that person was certainly not sent by the one who chose you.
9 A little yeast can change a whole batch of dough,
10 but you belong to the Lord. That makes me certain that you will do what I say, instead of what someone else tells you to do. Whoever is causing trouble for you will be punished.
