Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you.

我保罗告诉你们，若受割礼，基督就与你们无益了。

我—保罗告诉你们，你们若受割礼，基督就对你们无益了。

我—保罗告诉你们，你们若受割礼，基督就对你们无益了。

听着！我保罗郑重地告诉你们，如果你们接受割礼，基督对你们就毫无益处。

我保罗现在告诉你们，如果你们受割礼，基督对你们就毫无益处了。

看，我保罗告诉你们：如果你们要受割礼，基督就对你们毫无益处了。

我－保羅告訴你們，若受割禮，基督就與你們無益了。

我－保羅告訴你們，你們若受割禮，基督就對你們無益了。

我－保羅告訴你們，你們若受割禮，基督就對你們無益了。

聽著！我保羅鄭重地告訴你們，如果你們接受割禮，基督對你們就毫無益處。

我保羅現在告訴你們，如果你們受割禮，基督對你們就毫無益處了。

請注意，我保羅告訴你們，你們若受割禮，基督就於你們無益了。

看，我保羅告訴你們：如果你們要受割禮，基督就對你們毫無益處了。

我保羅語爾、若受割、則基督於爾無益、

我保羅語爾、若割禮可恃、則基督無益、

我保羅告爾、若受割禮、基督於爾無益、

我葆樂剴切告爾、爾如承受割禮、則基督於爾為無益。

Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.

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.

Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you.

Take note! I, Paul, am telling you that if you get yourselves circumcised, Christ will not benefit you at all.

Look! I, Paul, tell you that if you have yourselves circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.

Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

Take note! I, Paul, tell you that if you get yourselves circumcised, Christ will not benefit you at all.

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

Listen! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you at all!

Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love.

While Paul and Barnabas were at Antioch of Syria, some men from Judea arrived and began to teach the believers:“ Unless you are circumcised as required by the law of Moses, you cannot be saved.”

And they supported me and did not even demand that my companion Titus be circumcised, though he was a Gentile.Even that question came up only because of some so called believers there— false ones, really— who were secretly brought in. They sneaked in to spy on us and take away the freedom we have in Christ Jesus. They wanted to enslave us and force us to follow their Jewish regulations.But we refused to give in to them for a single moment. We wanted to preserve the truth of the gospel message for you.

I’ll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation in the whole law of Moses.For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.

But the people of Israel, who tried so hard to get right with God by keeping the law, never succeeded.Why not? Because they were trying to get right with God by keeping the law instead of by trusting in him. They stumbled over the great rock in their path.

so Paul wanted him to join them on their journey. In deference to the Jews of the area, he arranged for Timothy to be circumcised before they left, for everyone knew that his father was a Greek.Then they went from town to town, instructing the believers to follow the decisions made by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem.

I know what enthusiasm they have for God, but it is misdirected zeal.For they don’t understand God’s way of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law.

Dear brothers and sisters, if I were still preaching that you must be circumcised— as some say I do— why am I still being persecuted? If I were no longer preaching salvation through the cross of Christ, no one would be offended.

For this good news— that God has prepared this rest— has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God.

Now I, Paul, appeal to you with the gentleness and kindness of Christ— though I realize you think I am timid in person and bold only when I write from far away.

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

We wanted very much to come to you, and I, Paul, tried again and again, but Satan prevented us.

But because of our love, I prefer simply to ask you. Consider this as a request from me— Paul, an old man and now also a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus.

Here is my greeting in my own handwriting— Paul.
