Galatians 6:11-15

New International Version

Not Circumcision but the New Creation

¹¹ See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!^(A)

¹² Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh^(B) are trying to compel you to be circumcised.^(C) The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted^(D) for the cross of Christ. ¹³ Not even those who are circumcised keep the law,^(E) yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.^{(F) 14} May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,^(G) through which^[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.^{(H) 15} Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything;^(I) what counts is the new creation.^(J)
