11See with what great letters I have written to you with my own hand.12As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.13For neither do those who are circumcised themselves keep the law, but they desire you to be circumcised in order that they may boast in your flesh.14But may it never be for me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.15For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything, but a new creation.16And as many as will walk by this rule, peace be upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.17From now on let no one furnish me trouble, for I carry the marks of Jesus in my body.18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
