1For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery. 2It is I, Paul, who am telling you that if you have yourselves circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3Once again I declare to every man who has himself circumcised that he is bound to observe the entire law. 4You are separated from Christ, you who are trying to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. 5For through the Spirit, by faith, we await the hope of righteousness. 6For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love. Be Not Misled.

41Waw - Let your mercy come to me, LORD, salvation in accord with your promise. 43Do not take the word of truth from my mouth, for in your judgments is my hope. 44I will keep your law always, for all time and forever. 45I will walk freely in an open space because I cherish your precepts. 47I delight in your commandments, which I dearly love. 48I lift up my hands to your commandments; I study your statutes, which I love.

12Indeed, the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.

37After he had spoken, a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home. He entered and reclined at table to eat. 38The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal. 39The Lord said to him, “Oh you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil. 40You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside? 41But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you.
