4You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
5But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the hope of righteousness.
6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love.
7You were running so well. Who has obstructed you from obeying the truth?
8Such persuasion does not come from the One who calls you.
— Galatians 5:4-8
