And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
