Galatians 6:10-13
J.B. Phillips New Testament
The inevitability of life’s harvest
7-10 Don’t be under any illusion: you cannot make a fool of God! A man’s harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sows. If he sows for his own lower nature his harvest will be the decay and death of his own nature. But if he sows for the Spirit he will reap the harvest of everlasting life by that Spirit. Let us not grow tired of doing good, for, unless we throw in our hand, the ultimate harvest is assured. Let us then do good to all men as opportunity offers, especially to those who belong to the Christian household.
A final appeal, in my own hand-writing
11 Look at these huge letters I am making in writing these words to you with my own hand!
12-13 These men who are always urging you to be circumcised—what are they after? They want to present a pleasing front to the world and they want to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. For even those who have been circumcised do not themselves keep the Law. But they want you circumcised so that they may be able to boast about your submission to their ruling.

Galatians 6:10-12
New International Version
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good(A) to all people, especially to those who belong to the family(B) of believers.
Not Circumcision but the New Creation
11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!(C)
12 Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh(D) are trying to compel you to be circumcised.(E) The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted(F) for the cross of Christ.
