# Brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I still being persecuted?
Paul is describing a situation that does not exist to emphasize that people are persecuting him because he is not preaching that people need to become Jews. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "Brothers, you can see that I am not still proclaiming circumcision because the Jews are persecuting me." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])
Paul uses this rhetorical question to show the evidence that he is not proclaiming circumcision. This can be expressed as a statement. Alternate translation: "Brothers, you can see that I am not proclaiming circumcision because I am still being persecuted." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])

Paul is describing a situation that does not exist to emphasize that people persecute him because he is preaching that God forgives people because of Jesus' work on the cross. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])
Paul is describing a situation that has not happened as evidence that he does not preach circumcision. Since the stumbling block of the cross has not been removed, that is evidence that Paul does not preach circumcision. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])

# the stumbling block of the cross
The words "stumbling block" are a metaphor for something that causes people to sin. In this case, those who "stumble," or sin, are those who reject Paul's message and persecute Paul. Alternate translation: "all reason for people to persecute me for preaching about the cross" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
Here the words "stumbling block" are a metaphor for something that angers or offends some people and leads them to reject the truth. In this case the "stumbling block of the cross" is the teaching that people are saved by "the cross" and not by the obeying the law. People who choose to believe that salvation comes by obeying the law are offended by this teaching. They "stumble" when they reject the teaching about the cross. Alternate translation: "the offensive teaching about the cross" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# the cross
These words are a metaphor for Paul's message that because Jesus died on the cross, it is people who believe in Jesus, not those who try to obey the law of Moses, who have a right relationship to God ([Galatians 2:16](../02/16.md); [3:24](../03/24.md); [5:3-4](./03.md), [6](./06.md)). Alternate translation: "my message about the cross" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] or [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
Here "the cross" is a metonym for the teaching that because Jesus died on the cross and is alive again, people are saved by believing in him. Alternate translation: "the message about the cross" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
