1 Corinthians Chapter 7, Verse 19
From BibleWiki
19: η περιτομη ουδεν εστιν και η ακροβυστια ουδεν εστιν αλλα τηρησις εντολων θεου
19: Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but
the keeping of the commandments of God.
19: Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing: but the
observance of the commandments of God.
Circumcision is nothing, etc. It is of no consequence in itself. It is not that which God requires now. And the mere external rite can be of no consequence one way or the other. The heart is all; and that is what God demands. See "Rom 2:29".
But the keeping of the commandments of God. Is something, is the main thing, is everything; and this can be done whether a man is circumcised or not.
