1 For freedom, Messiah set us free—so stand firm, and do not be burdened by a yoke of slavery again.
2 Listen—I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Messiah will be of no benefit to you.
3 Again I testify to every man who lets himself be circumcised, that he is obligated to keep the whole Torah.
4 You who are trying to be justified by Torah have been cut off from Messiah; you have fallen away from grace.
5 For through the Ruach, by faith, we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.
6 For in Messiah Yeshua, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any meaning—but only trust and faithfulness expressing itself through love.
7 You were running a great race! Who blocked you from following the truth?
