Let those, who differ from us, keep their views to themselves.-πνεύματι, in the spirit of grace) Without circumcision, etc.-ἐκ πίστεως) from the faith of Christ; comp. the preceding verse.-ἐλπίδα δικαιοσύνης, hope of righteousness) Righteousness is now present; and that affords us hope, for the time to come.
