Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.

And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but a new creation.

For indeed circumcision profits if you keep the law; but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

And will not the physically uncircumcised, who fulfills the law, judge you along with your written [code] and circumcision, a transgressor of the law?

but he [is] a Jew that [is one] inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, whose praise is not of men but of God.

Or is He the God of the Jews only? But is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, also of Gentiles,

Therefore do we nullify the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish [the] law.

Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God.

where there is not Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

"And when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then will He sit upon His glorious throne.

And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on [His] left.

for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;

"Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?

Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'

For the love of Christ compels us, having concluded this: that if One died for all, then all died;

constantly remembering your work of faith, labor of love, and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go forth to the place which he was about to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

By faith Abraham, when he was tested, had offered up Isaac, and he that received the promises offered up his only begotten [son],

considering that even from the dead, God [was] able to raise [him up], from which he also received him in a figurative sense.

What does it profit, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Is that [kind of] faith able to save him?

and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the necessary things of the body, what [is] the benefit?

But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith [apart] from your works, and I will show you my faith by means of my works.

But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by means of his works faith was made perfect?

You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Whom not having seen, you love, in whom now not seeing, but believing, you rejoice with inexpressible joy and glorified,

We know that we have passed over from death to life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love his brother abides in death.

By this we have come to know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives in behalf of our brothers.

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and He knows all things.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment. But he that fears has not been made perfect in love.

If anyone claims, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how is it possible [for him] to love God whom he has not seen?
