Galatians 6:12-13, 17

All those who insist that you be circumcised are recruiting you so they can boast in their own achievement. They seek to avoid the persecution that comes with preaching the liberating message of the cross of Messiah! Not even those who are circumcised keep every detail of the written law. Yet they push you to be circumcised so that they can boast that you have become like them.

From now on, let no one cause me to suffer further, for I am carrying the very scars of our Lord Jesus in my body.
