1 Now then, brothers and sisters, be joyful in the Lord. It’s no trouble for me to write the same things to you, and it’s for your safety.
2 Beware of dogs! Beware of those who do evil things. Beware of those who insist on circumcision.
3 We are the ⌊true⌋ circumcised people ⌊of God⌋ because we serve God’s Spirit and take pride in Christ Jesus. We don’t place any confidence in physical things,
4 although I could have confidence in my physical qualifications. If anyone else thinks that he can trust in something physical, I can claim even more.
