5 For sfreedom Christ has tset us free; ustand firm therefore, and do not submit againto va yoke of wslavery.
2 Look: I, Paul, say to you that xif you accept circumcision, yChrist will be of noadvantage to you. 3 I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that zhe isobligated to keep the whole law. 4 You are asevered from Christ, byou who would bejustified1 by the law; cyou have fallen away from grace. 5 For through the Spirit, by faith,we ourselves eagerly dwait for the hope of righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus eneithercircumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but fonly faith working throughlove.
7 gYou were running well. Who hindered you from obeying hthe truth? 8 Thispersuasion is not from ihim who calls you. 9 jA little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10 kIhave confidence in the Lord that you will ltake no other view, and mthe one who istroubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is. 11 But if I, brothers,2 still preach3circumcision, nwhy am I still being persecuted? In that case othe offense of the cross hasbeen removed. 12 I wish pthose who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!
13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. qOnly do not use your freedom as anopportunity for the flesh, but through love rserve one another. 14 For sthe whole law isfulfilled in one word: t“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you ubite anddevour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
