But may I never boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ (Christou | Χριστοῦ | gen sg masc), through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Those who want to make a good showing in the flesh, they are the ones trying to force you to be circumcised — only so that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ (Christou | Χριστοῦ | gen sg masc).
For in Christ (Christō | Χριστῷ | dat sg masc) Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith expressing itself through love.
You have cut yourself off from Christ (Christou | Χριστοῦ | gen sg masc), you who are trying to be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.
and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not despise or reject me, but you welcomed me as an angel of God, as though I were Christ (Christon | Χριστόν | acc sg masc) Jesus.
