10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying ^sto please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a ^tservant¹ of Christ.

12 ^kIt is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh ^lwho would force you to be circumcised, and only ^min order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

14 But far be it from me to boast ⁿexcept in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which¹ the world ^ohas been crucified to me, and I to the world.
