Galatians 5:4-6
J.B. Phillips New Testament
2-6 Listen! I, Paul, say this to you as solemnly as I can: if you consent to be circumcised then Christ will be of no use to you at all. I will say it again: every man who consents to be circumcised is bound to obey all the rest of the Law! If you try to be justified by the Law you automatically cut yourself off from the power of Christ, you put yourself outside the range of his grace. For it is by faith that we await in his Spirit the righteousness we hope to see. In Jesus Christ there is no validity in either circumcision or uncircumcision; it is a matter of faith, faith which expresses itself in love.

New International Version
4 You who are trying to be justified by the law(A) have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.(B) 5 For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope.(C) 6 For in Christ Jesus(D) neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value.(E) The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.(F)
