But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away.

But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.

Εγω δε, αδελφοι, εαν ακομη κηρυττω περιτομην, δια τι πλεον κατατρεχομαι; αρα κατηργηθη το σκανδαλον του σταυρου.

And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
