Now, brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.

Now some men came down from Judea and began to teach the brothers,“ Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”

Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, although he was a Greek.

Even though they have the appearance of wisdom with their self- imposed worship and false humility achieved by an unsparing treatment of the body– a wisdom with no true value– they in reality result in fleshly indulgence.

For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

The person who speaks on his own authority desires to receive honor for himself; the one who desires the honor of the one who sent him is a man of integrity, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

They do all their deeds to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries wide and their tassels long.

They devour widows’ property, and as a show make long prayers. They will receive a more severe punishment.”

Each of you should be concerned not only about your own interests, but about the interests of others as well.

For we would not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who recommend themselves. But when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.

Thus whenever you do charitable giving, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in synagogues and on streets so that people will praise them. I tell you the truth, they have their reward.

In the same way, on the outside you look righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

But when I saw that they were not behaving consistently with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all,“ If you, although you are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you try to force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

For many live, about whom I have often told you, and now, with tears, I tell you that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ.
