Final Warning and Benediction

¹¹ See with what large letters I am writing to you ^(A)with my own hand. ^12 (B)It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh ^(C)who would force you to be circumcised, and only ^(D)in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. ¹³ For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. ¹⁴ But far be it from me to boast ^(E)except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which^[a] the world ^(F)has been crucified to me, and I to the world. ¹⁵ For ^(G)neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but ^(H)a new creation. ¹⁶ And as for all who walk by this rule, ^(I)peace and mercy be upon them, and upon ^(J)the Israel of God.

¹⁷ From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

^18 (K)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be ^(L)with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
