Final Warning and Benediction
11
See with what large letters I am writing to you j with my own hand.
12
k It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh l who would force you to be circumcised, and only m in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13
For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
14
But far be it from me to boast n except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world o has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15
For p neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but q a new creation.
16
And as for all who walk by this rule, r peace and mercy be upon them, and upon s the Israel of God.
17
From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
18
t The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be u with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
