1. We have freedom now, because Christ made us free. So stand strong in that freedom. Don’t go back into slavery again.
2. Listen! I, Paul, tell you that if you start following the law by being circumcised, then Christ cannot help you.
3. Again, I warn everyone: If you allow yourselves to be circumcised, then you must follow the whole law.
4. If you try to be made right with God through the law, your life with Christ is finished—you have left God’s grace.
