## Galatians 6:12-15 in Context (Verses 9–18 KJV)
 
 [9 ](/kjv/galatians/6/9) And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/galatians/6/10) As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all *men*, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/galatians/6/11) Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/galatians/6/12) As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/galatians/6/13) For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/galatians/6/14) But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/galatians/6/15) For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/galatians/6/16) And as many as walk according to this rule, peace *be* on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/galatians/6/17) From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/galatians/6/18) Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ *be* with your spirit. Amen.
 
[Galatians 5](/kjv/galatians/5) [Ephesians 1](/kjv/ephesians/1)
