Galatians 6:14-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁴ But I will never brag about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of his cross, the world is dead as far as I am concerned, and I am dead as far as the world is concerned.

¹⁵ It doesn't matter if you are circumcised or not. All that matters is that you are a new person.

¹⁶ If you follow this rule, you will belong to God's true people. God will treat you with undeserved kindness and will bless you with peace.

^17 (A) On my own body are scars that prove I belong to Christ Jesus. So I don't want anyone to bother me anymore.

¹⁸ My friends, I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you! Amen.
