Back to the chapter

Galatians 5:8

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love.

⁷ You were running so well. Who has obstructed you from obeying the truth?

Such persuasion does not come from the One who calls you.

⁹ A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough.

¹⁰ I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
