Galatians 6:12-14 they who desire to make a figure in the world, constrain you to be circumcised, only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² they who desire to make a figure in the world, constrain you to be circumcised, only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. ¹³ for even they who are circumcised, do not themselves observe the law in other respects; but they dedesire to have you circumcised, that they may have matter of glorying upon that account. ¹⁴ but far be it from me that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is as contemptible to me, as I am to the world.
