For in Christ Jesus(A) neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value.(B) The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.(C)

You were running a good race.(D) Who cut in on you(E) to keep you from obeying the truth? That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.(F) “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”(G) 10 I am confident(H) in the Lord that you will take no other view.(I) The one who is throwing you into confusion,(J) whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty. 11 Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted?(K) In that case the offense(L) of the cross has been abolished. 12 As for those agitators,(M) I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!

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

You were (D)running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion did not come from (E)Him who calls you. (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.

Love Fulfills the Law

You (C)ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. (D)A little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.

11 And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, (E)why do I still suffer persecution? Then (F)the offense of the cross has ceased. 12 (G)I could wish that those (H)who trouble you would even [a]cut themselves off!

20 So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, 21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers.(A) As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk. 22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God(B) by humiliating those who have nothing?(C) What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you?(D) Certainly not in this matter!

23 For I received from the Lord(E) what I also passed on to you:(F) The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body,(G) which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant(H) in my blood;(I) do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.(J)

20 Therefore when you come together it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, 21 for when you eat, each one takes his own supper first; and one goes hungry while (A)another gets drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the (B)church of God and (C)shame those who have nothing? What am I to say to you? Shall (D)I praise you? In this I do not praise you.

The Lord’s Supper

23 For (E)I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that (F)the Lord Jesus, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same way He also took (G)the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the (H)new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death (I)until He comes.

20 Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper. 21 For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and (A)another is drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise (B)the church of God and (C)shame [a]those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

Institution of the Lord’s Supper(D)

23 For (E)I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: (F)that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [b]“Take, eat; this is My body which is [c]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death (G)till He comes.
