Galatians 5:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

8 Such persuasion does not come from the One who calls you.

9 A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough.

10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

11 Now, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.
