1. For freedom, Messiah set us free—so stand firm, and do not be burdened by a yoke of slavery again.
2. Listen—I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Messiah will be of no benefit to you.
3. Again I testify to every man who lets himself be circumcised, that he is obligated to keep the whole Torah.
4. You who are trying to be justified by Torah have been cut off from Messiah; you have fallen away from grace.
5. For through the Ruach, by faith, we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.
