Gal 6:11-18

Final Appeal.^* 11See with what large letters^* I am writing to you in my own hand!ⁱ 12^* It is those who want to make a good appearance in the flesh who are trying to compel you to have yourselves circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.^j 13Not even those having themselves circumcised^* observe the law themselves; they only want you to be circumcised so that they may boast of your flesh. 14But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which^* the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.^k 15For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision,^l but only a new creation.^* 16Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule^* and to the Israel of God.^m

17From now on, let no one make troubles for me; for I bear the marks of Jesus^* on my body.ⁿ

18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.^o
