    4This arose because of false brothers who were secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, so they might bring us into bondage.

    5But we did not yield in submission to them even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.

    6Now from those who seemed to be important—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show partiality—those of reputation contributed nothing to me.

    7On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter was to the circumcised—

    8(For He who worked through Peter for his apostleship to the circumcised also worked through me for mine to the Gentiles)—

    27The one who is not physically circumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.

    28For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.

    29But a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. Such a person’s praise is not from people, but from God.

    12Those who want to make a good impression in the flesh are the ones compelling you to be circumcised—only so that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

    13For even those who are circumcised do not keep the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised so they can boast about your flesh.

    14But as for me, may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

    15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but what matters is a new creation.
