KJV ORIGINAL
And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Listen, if I was still telling people they needed to follow all the old religious rules to be accepted by God, why would anyone be giving me such a hard time? If that were the case, the whole shocking message of the cross wouldn't be offensive to anyone anymore.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Paul's like 'if I was preaching the easy message, nobody would be trying to cancel me.'
