because of false brethren

bring us into bondage:
Galatians 2:12-
14 For before that
certain came from James,
he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come,
he withdrew and separated himself,
fearing them which were of the circumcision. ... But when I saw that they
walked not uprightly according to
the truth of the gospel,
I said unto Peter before [
them] all,
If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews,
why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Galatians 4:9-
11 But now, after that
ye have known God, or rather
are known of God,
how turn ye
again to the weak and beggarly
elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? ... I
am afraid of you,
lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
Galatians 5:1-
6 Stand fast therefore in
the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not
entangled again with the yoke of bondage. ... For
in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but
faith which worketh by love.
Galatians 6:13-
14 For neither they themselves who are circumcised
keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised,
that they may glory in your flesh. ... But
God forbid
that I should glory,
save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
Philippians 3:5-
7 Circumcised the eighth day,
of the stock of Israel,
[of] the tribe of Benjamin,
an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a
Pharisee; ... But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Colossians 2:19-
23 And
not holding the Head, from which
all the body
by joints and bands having
nourishment ministered, and
knit together,
increaseth with the increase of God. ... Which things have indeed
a shew of wisdom in
will worship, and humility, and
neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

little: but

he saith, Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make
a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: ... In that he saith,
A new [
covenant],
he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [
is]
ready to vanish away.
Hebrews 13:9-
10 Be not
carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For
[it is] a good thing that the heart be established with grace;
not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. ... We have
an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which
serve the tabernacle.
Revelation 21:5 And he
that sat upon the throne said,
Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me,
Write: for
these words are true and faithful.
