2 Listen! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you at all! 3 And I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey[a] the whole law. 4 You who are trying to be declared righteous[b] by the law have been alienated[c] from Christ; you have fallen away from grace!
