¹¹ See with what large letters I have written to you ^(A)with my own hand! ¹² All who want ^(B)to make a good showing in the flesh try to ^(C)compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they ^(D)will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. ¹³ For those who ^[a]are circumcised do not even ^(E)keep ^[b]the Law themselves, but they want to have you circumcised so that they may ^(F)boast in your flesh. ¹⁴ But ^(G)[c]far be it from me to boast, ^(H)except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(I)through ^[d]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 ^[e]creation. ¹⁶ And all who will follow 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 ^[f](N)marks of Jesus.

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