so Paul wanted him to join them on their journey. In deference to the Jews of the area, he arranged for Timothy to be circumcised before they left, for everyone knew that his father was a Greek.

It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation.

So all the men in the town council agreed with Hamor and Shechem, and every male in the town was circumcised.

For instance, a man who was circumcised before he became a believer should not try to reverse it. And the man who was uncircumcised when he became a believer should not be circumcised now.For it makes no difference whether or not a man has been circumcised. The important thing is to keep God’s commandments.

I will hurry, without delay, to obey your commands.

The Jewish ceremony of circumcision has value only if you obey God’s law. But if you don’t obey God’s law, you are no better off than an uncircumcised Gentile.And if the Gentiles obey God’s law, won’t God declare them to be his own people?In fact, uncircumcised Gentiles who keep God’s law will condemn you Jews who are circumcised and possess God’s law but don’t obey it.For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision.No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by the Spirit. And a person with a changed heart seeks praise from God, not from people.

This is the covenant that you and your descendants must keep: Each male among you must be circumcised.You must cut off the flesh of your foreskin as a sign of the covenant between me and you.From generation to generation, every male child must be circumcised on the eighth day after his birth. This applies not only to members of your family but also to the servants born in your household and the foreign born servants whom you have purchased.All must be circumcised. Your bodies will bear the mark of my everlasting covenant.Any male who fails to be circumcised will be cut off from the covenant family for breaking the covenant.”

Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom.

Both Abraham and his son, Ishmael, were circumcised on that same day,along with all the other men and boys of the household, whether they were born there or bought as servants. All were circumcised with him.

I have singled him out so that he will direct his sons and their families to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just. Then I will do for Abraham all that I have promised.”

Don’t brag about tomorrow, since you don’t know what the day will bring.

Now, is this blessing only for the Jews, or is it also for uncircumcised Gentiles? Well, we have been saying that Abraham was counted as righteous by God because of his faith.But how did this happen? Was he counted as righteous only after he was circumcised, or was it before he was circumcised? Clearly, God accepted Abraham before he was circumcised!Circumcision was a sign that Abraham already had faith and that God had already accepted him and declared him to be righteous— even before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are counted as righteous because of their faith.And Abraham is also the spiritual father of those who have been circumcised, but only if they have the same kind of faith Abraham had before he was circumcised.

For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love.

At that time the Lord told Joshua,“ Make flint knives and circumcise this second generation of Israelites.”So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the entire male population of Israel at Gibeath haaraloth.Joshua had to circumcise them because all the men who were old enough to fight in battle when they left Egypt had died in the wilderness.Those who left Egypt had all been circumcised, but none of those born after the Exodus, during the years in the wilderness, had been circumcised.The Israelites had traveled in the wilderness for forty years until all the men who were old enough to fight in battle when they left Egypt had died. For they had disobeyed the Lord, and the Lord vowed he would not let them enter the land he had sworn to give us— a land flowing with milk and honey.So Joshua circumcised their sons— those who had grown up to take their fathers’ places— for they had not been circumcised on the way to the Promised Land.After all the males had been circumcised, they rested in the camp until they were healed.Then the Lord said to Joshua,“ Today I have rolled away the shame of your slavery in Egypt.” So that place has been called Gilgal to this day.
