Galatians 5:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ But I ·trust [^Lhave confidence/am persuaded about you] in the Lord that you will ·not believe those different ideas [take no different view]. Whoever is ·confusing [troubling] you with such ideas will ·be punished [pay the penalty; ^Lbear the condemnation], ·no matter who he is [^Lwhoever he may be].

¹¹ My brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching ·that a man must be circumcised [^Lcircumcision; ^Csome were evidently accusing Paul of this], why am I still being ·attacked [persecuted]? If I still taught circumcision, ·my preaching about the cross would not be a problem [the scandal/offense of the cross has been removed/abolished]. ¹² I wish the people who are bothering you would ·castrate themselves [make themselves eunuchs; ^Lcut it off]! [^CPaul sarcastically says that if circumcision is so helpful, why not go even further?]
