¹¹ See with what large letters I ^[a]am writing to you ^(A)with my own hand! ¹² As many as are wanting ^(B)to make a good showing in the flesh, these are trying to ^(C)compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they ^(D)will not be persecuted ^[b]for the cross of Christ. ¹³ For those who ^[c]are circumcised do not even ^(E)keep ^[d]the Law themselves, but they want to have you circumcised so that they may ^(F)boast in your flesh. ¹⁴ But ^(G)may it never be that I would boast, ^(H)except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(I)through ^[e]which the world has been crucified to me, and ^(J)I to the world. ¹⁵ For ^(K)neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a ^(L)new ^[f]creation. ¹⁶ And those who will ^[g]walk in step with this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the ^(M)Israel of God.

¹⁷ From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the ^(N)marks of Jesus.

^18 (O)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be ^(P)with your spirit, ^(Q)brothers. Amen.
