12 Those wanting to look good outwardly are trying to force you to be circumcised—only so they will not be persecuted for the cross of Messiah.
13 For not even the circumcised keep Torah themselves. Yet they want to have you circumcised so that they may boast about your flesh.
14 But may I never boast—except in the cross of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. Through Him the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything—but only a new creation.
16 Now as many as live by this rule—shalom and mercy on them and on the Israel of God.
17 From now on let no one make trouble for me, for I bear on my body the scars of Yeshua.
18 The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.
