SCRIPTURE

"For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing. Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Ye are severed from Christ, ye would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace." — Galatians 5:1-4 (ASV)

Stand firm, therefore, in the liberty with which Christ had made us free, and do not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Behold, I Paul say to you, that if you are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ has become of no effect to you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; you have fallen from grace.

If you intend to have anything to do with salvation by works, then be gone; you are the children of the bondwoman.
