Galatians 5 — Context

Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.

See, I Paul say to you, that if you undergo circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.

Yes, I give witness again to every man who undergoes circumcision, that he will have to keep all the law.

You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.

For we through the Spirit by faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.
