³⁰ since ^(A)God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and ^(B)the uncircumcised through faith.

⁸ And the Scripture, foreseeing that ^(A)God would justify^[a] the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, ^(B)“In you shall all the nations be blessed.”

²⁰ Now ^(A)an intermediary implies more than one, but ^(B)God is one.

³ For ^(A)we are the circumcision, ^(B)who worship ^(C)by the Spirit of God^[a] and ^(D)glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh—

¹⁰ and ^(A)you have been filled in him, who is ^(B)the head of all rule and authority. ¹¹ In him also ^(C)you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by ^(D)putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,

¹⁵ For ^(A)neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but ^(B)a new creation.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus ^(A)neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but ^(B)only faith working through love.

¹⁴ But when I saw that their ^(A)conduct was not in step with ^(B)the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas ^(C)before them all, “If you, though a Jew, ^(D)live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

Justified by Faith

¹⁵ We ourselves are Jews by birth and not ^(E)Gentile sinners; ¹⁶ yet we know that ^(F)a person is not justified^[a] by works of the law ^(G)but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, ^(H)because by works of the law no one will be justified.

^28 (A)There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave^[a] nor free, ^(B)there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
