Final Warning and Benediction (GAL 6:11-18)

[6:11] See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.

[6:12] It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

[6:13] 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.

[6:14] But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

[6:15] For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

[6:16] And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

[6:17] From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

[6:18] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
