Galatians 6:12-15 As many as are desirous of making a figure in flesh, these are constraining you to be circumcised, only that they may avoid being persecuted for the cross of the Christ

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² As many as are desirous of making a figure in flesh, these are constraining you to be circumcised, only that they may avoid being persecuted for the cross of the Christ ¹³ For even they themselves, being circumcised, do not keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. ¹⁴ But far be it from me to boast, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is crucified to me and I to the world. ¹⁵ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision availeth any thing; but a new creation.
