See! with what large letters, unto you, I have written, with my own hand: -

As many as are wishing to make a good show in flesh, the same, are compelling you to get circumcised, - only that, for the cross of Christ Jesus, they may not be suffering persecution!

For, not even they who are getting circumcised, are, themselves, observing law, - but are wishing you to be circumcised, that, in your flesh, they may boast themselves.

With me, however, far be it! to be boasting, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, - whereby, unto me, a world hath been crucified, and, I, unto a world;

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

And, as many as, by this rule, shall walk, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

For the rest, annoyances, unto me, let no one be offering; for, I, the brandmarks of Jesus, in my body, am bearing.

The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
