13. Not even those having themselves circumcised observe the law themselves; they only want you to be circumcised so that they may boast of your flesh.
14. But 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.
15. For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision, but only a new creation.
16. Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule and to the Israel of God.
17. From now on, let no one make troubles for me; for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body.
18. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
