Gal 5:11 | PNT | STEP | And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision . Perhaps the Judaizers, in order to promote their doctrine, urged that Paul also taught circumcision in some places. They might even quote the case of Timothy. See PNT . Why do I yet suffer persecution ? If this charge was true, why did the Jews everywhere persecute him? Then hath the offence of the cross ceased . The great offense of the cross to the Jews was that Christ is the atonement for sin, and that the whole Jewish system of ordinances perished at the cross. Of course, if Paul taught obedience to the law, he rejected the doctrine of the cross.

Galatians 5:11

And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision. Perhaps the Judaizers, in order to promote their doctrine, urged that Paul also taught circumcision in some places. They might even quote the case of Timothy.

See PNT Ac 16:3.

Why do I yet suffer persecution? If this charge was true, why did the Jews everywhere persecute him?

Then hath the offence of the cross ceased. The great offense of the cross to the Jews was that Christ is the atonement for sin, and that the whole Jewish system of ordinances perished at the cross. Of course, if Paul taught obedience to the law, he rejected the doctrine of the cross.
