Galatians 6:11-18 (Epistle, Sunday Before)
- 11
- See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!
- 12
- As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
- 13
- For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
- 14
- But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
- 15
- For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.
- 16
- And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
- 17
- From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
- 18
- Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
