Galatians 5:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 A little yeast leavens the entire batch of dough. 10 I am confident of you in the Lord that none of you will think differently, and that anyone who is trying to confuse you will be condemned, no matter who it is.
11 As for me, brethren, if I were still advocating circumcision,[a] why would I continue to be persecuted? If I were doing that, the cross would no longer be a stumbling block.
