12. Formal Translation As many as want to make a good appearance in the flesh, these are the ones who compel you to be circumcised, only so that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ {Christos, Crucified Messiah}. |
12. Dynamic Translation Those who want to look good outwardly are pressuring you to get circumcised; they do this only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ {Christos, Rejected Savior}. |
