Galatians 6:11-16 - A Final Warning

¹¹ See in what large letters I am writing with my own hand. ¹² Those who wish to appear to advantage in regard to outward observances are the very people who are trying to compel you to be circumcised; and they do it only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Jesus, the Christ. ¹³ Even these men who are circumcised do not themselves keep the Law; yet they want you to be circumcised, so that they may boast of your observance of the rite. ¹⁴ But, for my part, may I never boast of anything except the cross of Jesus Christ, our Master, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. ¹⁵ For neither is circumcision nor the omission of it anything; but a new nature is everything. ¹⁶ May all who rule their conduct by this principle find peace and mercy--they who are the Israel of God.

¹⁸ I declare to all who hear the words of the prophecy contained in this book-- 'If anyone adds to it, God will add to his troubles the Curses described in this book; ¹⁹ and if any one takes away any of the words in the book containing this prophecy, God will take away his share in the Tree of Life, and in the Holy City--as described in this book.'

²⁰ He whose testimony this is says-- 'Assuredly I will come quickly.' 'Amen, come, Lord Jesus.'

²¹ May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ, be with his People.
