Galatians 6:17 is a Bible verse where Apostle Paul declares, "From now on, let no one trouble me, for I bear on my body the marks of the Lord Jesus," signifying that his suffering for Christ (scars from beatings, stonings, etc.) proved his authenticity and ownership by Jesus, unlike the "marks" of circumcision false teachers promoted. These physical scars, akin to branding marks showing ownership, were Paul's badges of honor, testifying to his faithful service and identifying him as belonging to Christ. In essence, Paul uses his physical suffering and scars as undeniable proof of his deep commitment and ownership by Jesus, challenging others to recognize his true apostleship.
