The Importance of Christ

3 [Furthermore, or Finally,] My brothers and sisters, ·be full of joy [rejoice] in the Lord. It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it ·will help you to be more ready [^Lis a safeguard/protection for you]. ² ·Watch out for [Beware] those who do evil, ·who are like dogs [^Lbeware the dogs; ^Ca derogatory reference to Paul’s opponents], ·who demand to cut the body [^Lbeware the mutilation; ^Ca mocking reference to those who demand circumcision of Gentile believers].
