For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor.
For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died.
But if I, brothers, still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.
I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.
But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)
