Christ Has Set Us Free

⁴ You are _a severed from Christ, _b you who would be justified ₁ by the law; _c you have fallen away from grace. ⁵ For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly _d wait for the hope of righteousness. ⁶ For in Christ Jesus _e neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but _f only faith working through love.
