5. For we, [not relying on the Law but] through the [Holy] Spirit's [help], by faith anticipate and wait for the blessing and good for which our righteousness and right standing with God [our conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action, causes us] to hope.
6. For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.
7. You were running the race nobly. Who has interfered in (hindered and stopped you from) your heeding and following the Truth?
8. This [evil] persuasion is not from Him Who called you [Who invited you to freedom in Christ].
