Galatians 5:2

Read in context

Galatians 5:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.

2 Take notice: I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.

3 Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.

4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
