12. Final Warnings and Blessings

13. 11KJVYe see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.BSBBSB: See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!
14. 12KJVAs many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.BSBBSB: Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.
15. 13KJVFor neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.BSBBSB: For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
16. 14KJVBut God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.BSBBSB: But as for me, may I never boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
17. 15KJVFor in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.BSBBSB: For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.
