Galatians 6:12 Context
10As we haue therefore opportunitie, let vs doe good vnto all men, especially vnto them who are of the household of faith. 11Ye see how large a letter I haue written vnto you with mine owne hand. 12As many as desire to make a faire shew in the flesh, they constraine you to be Circumcised: onely least they should suffer persecution for the Crosse of Christ. 13For neither they themselues who are circumcised, keepe the Law, but desire to haue you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14But God forbid that I should glory, saue in the Crosse of our Lord Iesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified vnto me, & I vnto the world.
