12as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted,
13for neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory.
14And for me, let it not be -- to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, and I to the world;
15for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation;
16and as many as by this rule do walk -- peace upon them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God!
17Henceforth, let no one give me trouble, for I the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body do bear.
18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit, brethren! Amen.
