1 For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
2 Look! I, Paul, tell you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing!
3 And again I testify to every man who becomes circumcised, that he is under obligation to keep the whole law.
4 You are estranged from Christ, you who are attempting to be justified by the law; you have fallen from grace.
5 For through the Spirit by faith we eagerly await the hope of righteousness.
