Those Wanting Your Circumcision Are Seeking To Boast In Your Flesh, Not To Keep The Law

11 See with what large letters I wrote to you with my own hand! 12 All who want to make-a-good-showing[a] in the flesh— these ones are compelling you to receive-circumcision only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For not even the ones receiving-circumcision themselves are keeping the Law. But they want you to receive-circumcision in order that they might boast in your flesh.

I Will Boast Only In The Cross of Christ. Peace Be Upon All Who Do The Same

14 But for me, may it never be that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which[b] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything, but a new creation. 16 And all who will walk-in-line with this standard[c]— peace and mercy be upon them, and[d] upon the Israel of God. 17 Henceforth[e] let no one be causing troubles for me. For I bear the brand-marks[f] of Jesus on my body.

18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
