For if I build up again the things which I have destroyed, I make myself a prevaricator.
For if, because of thy meat, thy brother be grieved, thou walkest not now according to charity. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then is the scandal of the cross made void.
I cast not away the grace of God. For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain.
Circumcision profiteth indeed, if thou keep the law; but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
But if our injustice commend the justice of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust, who executeth wrath?
