For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.

For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.

For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.

For each one will bear his own load.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.

For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

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

For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints,

do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers;

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,

for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
