Galatians 6:11-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Final Admonitions and Benediction
11 See what large letters I make when I am writing in my own hand! 12 It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who try to compel you to be circumcised—only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.(A) 13 Even the circumcised do not themselves obey the law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast about your flesh. 14 May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which[a] the world has been crucified to me and I to the world.(B) 15 For[b] neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything, but a new creation is everything!(C) 16 As for those who will follow this rule—peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17 From now on, let no one make trouble for me, for I carry the marks of Jesus branded on my body.(D)
18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.

Galatians 6:11-18
New American Standard Bible
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.
