10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, we must work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.
11 Look at what large letters I use as I write to you in my own handwriting.
12 Those who want to make a good impression in the flesh are the ones who would compel you to be circumcised — but only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 For even the circumcised don’t keep the law themselves; however, they want you to be circumcised in order to boast about your flesh.
14 But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The world has been crucified to me through the cross, and I to the world.
15 For both circumcision and uncircumcision mean nothing; what matters instead is a new creation.
16 May peace come to all those who follow this standard, and mercy to the Israel of God!
