12 As many as desire to look good in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 For even they who receive circumcision don`t keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
14 But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
16 As many as will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God`s Israel.
17 From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus branded on my body.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
