Galatians 5:1-7
New American Standard Bible
2Look! I, Paul, tell you that if you have yourselves circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.
3And I testify again to every man who has himself circumcised, that he is obligated to keep the whole Law.
4You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by the Law; you have fallen from grace.
5For we, through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.
6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.
King James Version
Chapter 5
1Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 2Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. 3For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 4Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. 5For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. 7Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
1For freedom, Christ set us free. Stand firm, then, and don't submit again to a yoke of slavery. 2Take note! I, Paul, am telling you that if you get yourselves circumcised, Christ will not benefit you at all. 3Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to do the entire law. 4You who are trying to be justified by the law are alienated from Christ; you have fallen from grace. 5For we eagerly await through the Spirit, by faith, the hope of righteousness. 6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faith working through love.New Living Translation
2Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you.
3I’ll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation in the whole law of Moses.
4For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.
English Standard Version
2Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you.
3I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law.
4You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.
5For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.
6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.
New International Version
2Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.
3Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
4You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
5For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope.
6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
