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.”

I was circumcised on the eighth day. I am part of the people of Israel. I am from the tribe of Benjamin. I am a pure Hebrew. As far as the law is concerned, I am a Pharisee.As far as being committed is concerned, I opposed and attacked the church. As far as keeping the law is concerned, I kept it perfectly.I thought things like that were really something great. But now I consider them to be nothing because of Christ.Even more, I consider everything to be nothing compared to knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. To know him is worth much more than anything else. Because of him I have lost everything. But I consider all of it to be garbage so I can know Christ better.

We have heard that some of our people came to you and caused trouble. You were upset by what they said. But we had given them no authority to go.

Christ has set us free to enjoy our freedom. So remain strong in the faith. Don’t let the chains of slavery hold you again.Here is what I, Paul, say to you. Don’t let yourselves be circumcised. If you do, Christ won’t be of any value to you.I say it again. Every man who lets himself be circumcised must obey the whole law.

They have known me for a long time. So if they wanted to, they could tell you how I have lived. I have lived by the rules of the Pharisees. Those rules are harder to obey than those of any other Jewish group.Today I am on trial because of the hope I have. I believe in what God promised our people of long ago.

“ We have found that Paul is a troublemaker. This man stirs up trouble among Jews all over the world. He is a leader of those who follow Jesus of Nazareth.

When they heard this, they praised God. Then they spoke to Paul.“ Brother,” they said,“ you see that thousands of Jews have become believers. All of them try very hard to obey the law.
