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

(C)You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying (D)the truth? This persuasion is not from (E)him who calls you. (F)A little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10 (G)I have confidence in the Lord that you will (H)take no other view, and (I)the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is. 11 But if I, brothers,[a] still preach[b] circumcision, (J)why am I still being persecuted? In that case (K)the offense of the cross has been removed. 12 I wish (L)those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!

13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. (M)Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love (N)serve one another. 14 For (O)the whole law is fulfilled in one word: (P)“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
