Galatians 6:9–18

9 aLet us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we bdo not grow weary.

10 So then, 1awhile we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the bhousehold of cthe faith.

11 See with what large letters I 1am writing to you awith my own hand.

12 Those who desire ato make a good showing in the flesh try to bcompel you to be circumcised, simply so that they cwill not be persecuted 1for the cross of Christ.

13 For those who 1are circumcised do not even akeep 2the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may bboast in your flesh.

14 But amay it never be that I would boast, bexcept in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, cthrough 1which the world has been crucified to me, and dI to the world.

15 For aneither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a bnew 1creation.

16 And those who will 1walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the aIsrael of God.

17 From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the abrand-marks of Jesus.

18 aThe grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be bwith your spirit, cbrethren. Amen.
