Galatians 5:4-8
New King James Version
4 (A)You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; (B)you have fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit eagerly (C)wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For (D)in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but (E)faith working through love.

Fears for the Church
8 But then, indeed, (B)when you did not know God, (C)you served those which by nature are not gods. 9 But now (D)after you have known God, or rather are known by God, (E)how is it that you turn again to (F)the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? 10 (G)You observe days and months and seasons and years.

16 who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life. 17 For [a]He testifies:

Galatians 6:12-14
New King James Version
12 As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, (A)only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should boast except in the (B)cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by [a]whom the world has been crucified to me, and (C)I to the world.
