Galatians 5:2-12


Look I Paul am telling you
that if you allow yourselves to be circumcised, 
Christ will not profit you.

But, again I am bearing witness 
to every man
who allows himself to be circumcised
that he is a person under obligation to keep the whole Jewish law. 

You have been cut off from Christ, 
who are trying get yourselves right, by law, 
you are falling from grace. 

For we are waiting 
by the Spirit
from faith
for the hope of ‘being right’.

For in Christ Jesus
neither circumcision is of value 
nor uncircumcision
but faith
working through love. 

You were running well.
Who cut in on you
so that you don’t obey the truth?
The persuasion is not from the one who calls you.

A little yeast makes the whole batch rise.

But I am confident in the Lord,
that you think nothing else.

But the one troubling you will bear the judgement,
whoever they are. 

But I , sisters and brothers- 
if I am preaching circumcision
why am I still being persecuted?

Then the scandal of the cross has been rendered ineffective.

I wish those who agitate you would cut the whole lot off!

God be in head and in my understanding;
God be in my eyes and in my looking;
God be in my mouth and in my speaking;
God be in my heart and in my thinking;
God be at my end and at my departing.
