Galatians 5:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ Be careful! “Just a little ·yeast [leaven; 1 Cor. 5:6–7] makes the whole batch of dough rise [^Ca little error will spread through the whole community].” ¹⁰ But I ·trust [^Lhave confidence/am persuaded about you] in the Lord that you will ·not believe those different ideas [take no different view]. Whoever is ·confusing [troubling] you with such ideas will ·be punished [pay the penalty; ^Lbear the condemnation], ·no matter who he is [^Lwhoever he may be].

¹¹ My brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching ·that a man must be circumcised [^Lcircumcision; ^Csome were evidently accusing Paul of this], why am I still being ·attacked [persecuted]? If I still taught circumcision, ·my preaching about the cross would not be a problem [the scandal/offense of the cross has been removed/abolished].
