    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.

    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.

    12I wish those who unsettle you would go all the way and emasculate themselves!

    16yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. So we also have believed in Christ Jesus in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

    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.
