11 ⁱSee with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. 12 It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would ^jforce you to be circumcised, and only ^kin order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For even those who are circumcised ^ldo not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14 But far be it from me to boast ^mexcept in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which¹ the world has been crucified to me, and ⁿI to the world. 15 ^oFor neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a ^pnew creation. 16 And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon ^qthe Israel of God.

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

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