Galatians 6:12 in Context — Galatians 6
10 Portanto, enquanto temos oportunidade, façamos o bem a todos; mas principalmente aos familiares da fé.
11 Olhai como são grandes as letras que vos escrevi da minha mão.
12 Todos os que querem mostrar boa aparência na carne, estes vos obrigam a vos circuncidarem, somente para não serem perseguidos por causa da cruz de Cristo.
13 Pois nem mesmo os que se circuncidam guardam a Lei; mas querem que vos circuncideis, para se orgulharem de vossa carne.
14 Mas longe de mim esteja me orgulhar, a não ser na cruz do nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo; por meio dela, o mundo está crucificado para mim, e eu para o mundo.
