Galatians 5: 1- 6
5:1 | Stand firm, and do not be willing to be again held by the yoke of servitude. |
5:2 | Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if you have been circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you. |
5:3 | For I again testify, about every man circumcising himself, that he is obligated to act according to the entire law. |
5:4 | You are being emptied of Christ, you who are being justified by the law. You have fallen from grace. |
5:5 | For in spirit, by faith, we await the hope of justice. |
5:6 | For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails over anything, but only faith which works through charity. |
Luke 11: 37- 41
11:37 | And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee asked him to eat with him. And going inside, he sat down to eat. |
11:38 | But the Pharisee began to say, thinking within himself: “Why might it be that he has not washed before eating?” |
11:39 | And the Lord said to him: “You Pharisees today clean what is outside the cup and the plate, but what is inside of you is full of plunder and iniquity. |
11:40 | Fools! Did not he who made what is outside, indeed also make what is inside? |
11:41 | Yet truly, give what is above as alms, and behold, all things are clean for you. |
