For through the Law I died to the Law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with the Messiah.

You foolish Galatians! Who put you under a spell? Was not Jesus the Messiah clearly portrayed before your very eyes as having been crucified?

Now those who belong to the Messiah Jesus have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires.

But may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world!
