Galatians 5:4-6
New English Translation
4 You who are trying to be declared righteous[a] by the law have been alienated[b] from Christ; you have fallen away from grace! 5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait expectantly for the hope of righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight—the only thing that matters is faith working through love.[c]
