Galatians 4:31–5:6

³¹So then, brothers and sisters, we are children, not of an enslaved woman but of the free woman.

⁵For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.^*

The Nature of Christian Freedom

²Listen! I, Paul, am telling you that, if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you. ³Once again I testify to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obliged to obey the entire law. ⁴You who want to be reckoned as righteous^c by the law have cut yourselves off from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.^{* 5}For through the Spirit, by faith, we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.^{* 6}For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; the only thing that counts is faith working^d through love.^*
