⁶ For in ^(A)Christ Jesus ^(B)neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but ^(C)faith working through love.

⁷ You were ^(D)running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? ⁸ This persuasion did not come from ^(E)Him who calls you. ^9 (F)A little ^[a]leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. ^10 (G)I have confidence ^[b]in you in the Lord, that you ^(H)will adopt no other view; but the one who is ^(I)disturbing you will bear the punishment, whoever he is. ¹¹ But as for me, brothers and sisters, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still ^(J)persecuted? Then ^(K)the stumbling block of the cross has been eliminated. ¹² I wish that ^(L)those who are troubling you would even ^[c](M)emasculate themselves.

¹³ For you were called to ^(N)freedom, brothers and sisters; ^(O)only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but ^(P)serve one another through love. ¹⁴ For ^(Q)the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “^(R)You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

¹⁵ For ^(A)neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a ^(B)new ^[a]creation.
