Galatians 5:9-11

Contemporary English Version

^9 (A) A little yeast can change a whole batch of dough, ¹⁰ but you belong to the Lord. This makes me certain you will do what I say, instead of what someone else tells you to do. Whoever is causing trouble for you will be punished.

¹¹ My friends, if I still preach that people need to be circumcised, why am I in so much trouble? The message about the cross would no longer be a problem, if I told people to be circumcised.
