Galatians 6:13 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Even these people pushing circumcision on you aren't actually following all the religious rules themselves. They just want you to get circumcised so they can brag about how many people they've converted.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

They're not even following their own rules — they just want to collect you like a trophy.
