Galatians 6:11-18

New Matthew Bible

¹¹ See how large a letter I have written to you with my own hand.

¹² Those who desire to please carnally by outward appearances constrain you to be circumcised only because they do not want to suffer persecution with the cross of Christ. ¹³ For they themselves who are circumcised do not keep the law, but desire to have you circumcised so that they may glory in your flesh.

¹⁴ God forbid that I should glory but in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, whereby the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. ¹⁵ For in Christ Jesus neither does circumcision avail anything at all, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. ¹⁶ And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel that belongs to God.

¹⁷ From henceforth let no one put me to trouble. For I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁸ Brethren, may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

To the Galatians.
