Galatians 5:3 in context

The verses around it, from Galatians 5.

1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.

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

3 Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.

4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

5 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the hope of righteousness.

6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love.

7 You were running so well. Who has obstructed you from obeying the truth?
