    19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.

    21Were you called while a servant? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather use it.

    22For he who is called in the Lord while a servant is the Lord's freedman. Likewise, he who is called while free is Christ's servant.

    25For circumcision truly profits if you keep the law: but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.

    26Therefore if the uncircumcised keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?

    27And shall not the uncircumcised which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision transgress the law?

    28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:

    29But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

    12As many as desire to make a good appearance in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only to avoid suffering persecution for the cross of Christ.

    13For neither do they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, so that they may boast in your flesh.

    14But God forbid that I should boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

    15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.

    9Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? For we say that faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness.

    11And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be credited to them also;

    12And the father of circumcision to those who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had while still uncircumcised.
