Galatians / Question
Question source
Galatians
Paul says that if a person accepts circumcision, “Christ will be of no advantage” to him. He adds that such a person is obligated to keep the whole law and is “severed from Christ,” having “fallen away from grace” (Galatians 5:2–4).
2Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
3Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4You are alienated from Christ, you desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
