Galatians

Galatians 6:13–14

¹³For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

¹⁴But as for me, may I never boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which^a the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
