Galatians 6

We should help each other, encourage one another and carry each other's burdens. This he is initially referring to one who is caught in sin. Sin is a real and troublesome thing we face. It will happen and we must learn to deal with it properly. Paul goes on to encourage the readers to do good, reminding them that we reap what we sow.

Those who are encouragers of circumcision are the ones who want to impress others through the flesh. The real reason why they do this is to avoid persecution for a belief in Jesus. A profession in Jesus Christ will call for persecution. It's as if when the persecution comes, these people distract and point to circumcision in order to avoid the persecution.

If you recall, those who live by circumcision for their salvation must keep the entire law. However, those who are circumcised don't keep the law. When they get you to be circumcised, it is only so that they can boast in your flesh. Whether you are circumcised or not doesn't make a difference. Paul boldly proclaims that he doesn't want to boast and may it never be. The only exception is a boast that is in the cross of Jesus Christ.
