For if I rebuild the things that I have destroyed, I establish myself as a prevaricator.
For if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are not now walking according to love. Do not allow your food to destroy him for whom Christ died.
Certainly, circumcision is beneficial, if you observe the law. But if you are a betrayer of the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.
But if even our injustice points to the justice of God, what shall we say? Could God be unfair for inflicting wrath?
I do not reject the grace of God. For if justice is through the law, then Christ died in vain.
And as for me, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still suffering persecution? For then the scandal of the Cross would be made empty.
