6: 11 marks the point in the letter where Paul begins to write the final words in his own handwriting. In 6:12-13 Paul gives his final warning about the Judaizers to the Galatians. In 6: 14-15 he summarizes brilliantly what he had been explaining all through the letter; only through the crucified Lord Jesus Christ is salvation found for anyone. The only thing that matters is to be recreated as a new person in Christ. Whether or not a man is circumcised does not matter at all. 6: 16 is Paul's prayer for all who live in Christ. In 6: 17 Paul tells the Galatians not to give him any more trouble; he has proved, by the scars of suffering that he bears, his total commitment to Jesus Christ. His final prayer is that the grace of God may continue with the Galatians.
