⁶ ·When we are [^LFor] in Christ Jesus, ·it is not important if we are circumcised or not [^Lneither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything]. The important thing is faith—the kind of faith that works through love.

¹¹ In the new life there is no difference between Greeks and Jews, those who are circumcised and those who are not circumcised, or ·people who are foreigners [barbarians], or Scythians [^Cfrom the northern coast of the Black Sea, considered uncivilized and violent]. There is no difference between slaves and free people. But Christ is ·all that is important and is in all believers [^Lall and in all].
