Galatians 5:2-4

2 Behold— I, Paul, say to you that if you receive-circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man receiving-circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole Law. 4 You who are [trying to be] declared-righteous by the Law were alienated[a] from Christ. You fell-from grace[b].
