Galatians 5:3

By receiving circumcision a man voluntarily put himself under the conditions of the law, which were, -fulfil perfectly and live: fail and die". The tremendous responsibility thus incurred may have been disguised by the false Apostles: or the Galatians may have been slow to realise it. St Paul's appeal is to the individual conscience. -Warning every manand teaching every man" (Colossians 1:28) was his maxim as a minister of the Gospel, and it ought to be the maxim of all who claim to be successors of the Apostles.
