We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said.

Since we have heard that some persons have gone out from us and troubled you with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions,

“ We understand that some men from here have troubled you and upset you with their teaching, but we did not send them!

Since we have heard that some without our authorization went out from us and troubled you with their words and unsettled your hearts,

Since we have heard that some of our number to whom we gave no instruction have confused you by their teaching, upsetting your souls,

Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying,“ You must be circumcised and keep the law”— to whom we gave no such commandment—

Forasmuch as we have heard that certain who went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment;

Because we have heard that some without our authorization went out from us and troubled you with their words and unsettled your hearts,

Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying,[ Ye must] be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no[ such] commandment:

Since we have heard that some have gone out from among us with no orders from us and have confused you, upsetting your minds by what they said,

Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying,‘ You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;

Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch. Here is what they were teaching the believers.“ Moses commanded you to be circumcised,” they said.“ If you aren’t, you can’t be saved.”

The Lord makes me certain that you will see the truth of this. The one who has gotten you all mixed up will have to pay the price. This will happen no matter who has done it.

So then, what about troublemakers who try to get others to be circumcised? I wish they would go the whole way! I wish they would cut off everything that marks them as men!

Many people refuse to obey God. All they do is talk about things that mean nothing. They try to fool others. No one does these things more than the circumcision group.They must be stopped. They are making trouble for entire families. They do this by teaching things they shouldn’t. They do these things to cheat people.

What you are accepting is really not the good news at all. It seems that some people have gotten you all mixed up. They are trying to twist the good news about Christ.

Titus was with me. He was a Greek. But even he was not forced to be circumcised.This matter came up because some people had slipped in among us. They had pretended to be believers. They wanted to find out about the freedom we have because we belong to Christ Jesus. They wanted to make us slaves again.

Some people are worried about how things look on the outside. They are trying to force you to be circumcised. They do it for only one reason. They don’t want to suffer by being connected with the cross of Christ.Even those who are circumcised don’t obey the law. But they want you to be circumcised. Then they can brag about what has been done to your body.

God showed that there is no difference between us and them. That’s because he made their hearts pure because of their faith.Now then, why are you trying to test God? You test him when you put a heavy load on the shoulders of Gentiles. Our people of long ago couldn’t carry that load. We can’t either.

Some of you are trying to be made right with God by obeying the law. You have been separated from Christ. You have fallen away from God’s grace.

Keep reminding God’s people of these things. While God is watching, warn them not to argue about words. That doesn’t have any value. It only destroys those who listen.

The Lord who rules over all says to the people of Judah,“ Do not listen to what the prophets are saying to you. They fill you with false hopes. They talk about visions that come from their own minds. What they say does not come from my mouth.
