Galatians 5:11

Live In Freedom And Love One Another

¹⁰ For my part I have strong confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt my view of the matter. But the man--be he who he may--who is troubling you, will have to bear the full weight of the judgement to be pronounced on him. ¹¹ As for me, brethren, if I am still a preacher of circumcision, how is it that I am still suffering persecution? In that case the Cross has ceased to be a stumbling-block! ¹² Would to God that those who are unsettling your faith would even mutilate themselves.
