But they simply want you to let yourselves be circumcised, so that they can boast of you as members of their party. ¹⁴ But may it never be mine to boast of anything but the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me and I to the world! ¹⁵ For neither circumcision nor the lack of it has any value, but only a new creation. ¹⁶ Now peace and mercy be on all who walk by this rule; that is, on the true Israel of God. ¹⁷ Let nobody trouble me after this, for I carry on my body the scars that mark me as Jesus' slave. ¹⁸ The spiritual blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
