1. In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free--stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;
2. lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing;
3. and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law;
4. ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;
5. for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do wait for,
6. for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.
7. Ye were running well; who did hinder you--not to obey the truth?
8. the obedience [is] not of him who is calling you!
9. a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven;
10. I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.
11. And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away;
12. O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!
