International Standard Version
2 Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators![a] 3 For it is we who are the circumcision[b]—we who worship in the Spirit of God[c] and find our joy in the Messiah[d] Jesus. We have not placed any confidence in the flesh, 4 although I could have confidence in the flesh. If anyone thinks he can place confidence in the flesh, I have more reason to think so.[e]
