2Look: I, Paul, say to you that [x] if you accept circumcision, [y] Christ will be of no advantage to you. 3I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that [z]he is obligated to keep the whole law. 4You are [a] severed from Christ, [b] you who would be justified by the law; [c] you have fallen away from grace. 5For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly [d] wait for the hope of righteousness. 6For in Christ Jesus [e] neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but [f] only faith working through love. 7[g] You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying [h] the truth? 8This persuasion is not from [i] him who calls you. 9[j] A little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10[k] I have confidence in the Lord that you will [l] take no other view than mine, and [m] the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is. 11But if I, brothers, still preach circumcision, [n] why am I still being persecuted? In that case [o] the offense of the cross has been removed. 12I wish [p] those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves! 13For you were called to freedom, brothers. [q] Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love [r] serve one another. 14For [s] the whole law is fulfilled in one word: [t] “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15But if you [u] bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
