Galatians 5:4

Read in context

Galatians 5:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

5 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the hope of righteousness.

6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love.
