Galatians 6:12

← Galatians 6:11	Galatians 6:12 (KJV)	Galatians 6:13 →
Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.	As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.	For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
