Galatians 6:13

For neither do these who are circumcised keep the law; but they will that you be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory.

The Peschito Syriac New Testament: Translated into English by John Wesley Etheridge

In The King James Version

For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

In Context

12They who would glory in the flesh would constrain you to be circumcised; only lest for the cross of the Meshiha they might be persecuted.

14But to me let it not be that I shall glory except in the cross of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, by which the world is crucified unto me, and I am crucified to the world.
