Paul, shortly after the Council at Jerusalem, returned to Antioch, from where he wrote a letter to the churches in Galatia. In that letter he explained that Christians are saved by faith, not by circumcision: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. | |||
For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. | |||
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. | |||
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. | |||
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.<ref>{{REFweb | |||
