1. Finally, my brothers and sisters, be joyful because you belong to the Lord. It is no trouble for me to write about some important matters to you again. If you know about them, you will have a safe path to follow.
2. Watch out for those dogs. They do evil things. When they circumcise, it is nothing more than a useless cutting of the body.
3. But we have been truly circumcised. We worship God by the power of his Spirit. We brag about what Christ Jesus has done. We don't put our trust in our weak human nature.
4. I have many reasons to trust in my human nature. Others may think they have reasons to trust in theirs. But I have even more.
