Galatians 6:12-15
As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.For not even they who receive circumcision do themselves keep the law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.But far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world hath been crucified unto me, and I unto the world.For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

Acts 21:28
crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place.

1 Corinthians 9 19-1 Corinthians 9 21
For though I was free from all men, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;to them that are without law, as without law, not being without law to God, but under law to Christ, that I might gain them that are without law.

Acts 28:17
And it came to pass, that after three days he called together those that were the chief of the Jews: and when they were come together, he said unto them, I, brethren, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans:

Galatians 5:1-6
For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

Romans 14:1-6
But him that is weak in faith receive ye, yet not for decision of scruples.One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs.Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand.One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Acts 15:19-21
Wherefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them that from among the Gentiles turn to God;but that we write unto them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.For Moses from generations of old hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
-
Acts 6:13-14
and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law:for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered unto us.

1 Corinthians 7 18-1 Corinthians 7 19
Was any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but the keeping of the commandments of God.
-
Acts 16:3
Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
