You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.
But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
For no human being will be justified in his sight by works of the law, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
I do not nullify the grace of God; for if justification were through the law, then Christ died to no purpose.
Now I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you.
See to it that no one fail to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” spring up and cause trouble, and by it the many become defiled;
Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest remains, let us fear lest any of you be judged to have failed to reach it.
Remember then from what you have fallen, repent and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
