Linguistic Bible Translation from Source Texts

Brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? If that were the case, the offense of the cross would be eliminated.

    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.

    3Again I declare to every man who allows himself to be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.

    4You who are justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

    25Circumcision indeed has value if you obey the law, but if you are a lawbreaker, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

    26So, if those who are uncircumcised keep the righteous requirements of the law, will their uncircumcision not be regarded as circumcision?

    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.

    17But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!

    18For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.

    19For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ.

    20I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

    21I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
