Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

Galatians 5:4You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.Galatians 5:6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love.Acts 15:1Then some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”Romans 9:31–32but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.Galatians 2:3–5Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.Galatians 5:3–4Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.Acts 16:3–4Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.Hebrews 4:2For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it.Romans 10:2–3For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.Galatians 5:11Now, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.Philemon 1:19I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self.2 Corinthians 10:1Now by the mildness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am humble when face to face with you, but bold when away.Acts 15:24It has come to our attention that some went out from us without our authorization and unsettled you, troubling your minds by what they said.1 Thessalonians 2:18For we wanted to come to you—indeed I, Paul, tried again and again—but Satan obstructed us.Ephesians 3:1For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles...1 Corinthians 16:21This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.Philemon 1:9I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.
