“Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.”
Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. — Paul's stark warning ('sēmeioō' — mark, pay attention) emphasizes his personal apostolic authority: circumcision-acceptance nullifies Christ's redemptive value ('Christos hymin ōpheleō' — Christ will profit you nothing), making the choice absolute and irrevocable.
