See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!

Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.

All who want 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.

As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

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

For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

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

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

And all who will follow this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

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

From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.

Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
