23. 5:7-12 Condemning Slavery

24. 5:7-12 7You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8This persuasion is not from Him who calls you. 9A little leaven leavens the the whole lump. 10I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view, and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is. 11But if I, brothers, still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed. 12I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves.
