Galatians 6:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.(A) 15 For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision,(B) but only a new creation.[b] 16 Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule[c] and to the Israel of God.(C)

- 6:14 Through which: or “through whom.”
- 6:15 New creation: or “new creature”; cf. 2 Cor 5:17.
- 6:16 This rule: the principle in Gal 6:14–15. The Israel of God: while the church may be meant (the phrase can be translated “to all who follow this rule, even the Israel of God”; cf. Gal 6:10; 1 Cor 10:18), the reference may also be to God’s ancient people, Israel; cf. Ps 125:5; 128:6.
