Galatians 5:2

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

Behold {G2396}, I {G1473} Paul {G3972} say {G3004} unto you {G5213}, that {G3754} if {G1437} ye be circumcised {G4059}, Christ {G5547} shall profit {G5623} you {G5209} nothing {G3762}.

Mark my words — I, Sha’ul, tell you that if you undergo b’rit-milah the Messiah will be of no advantage to you at all!

Take notice: I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
