New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.(A) 15 For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision,(B) but only a new creation.[b] 16 Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule[c] and to the Israel of God.(C)
