Hebrews 8:8-13
For finding fault with them, he said,“ Behold, the days come”, says the Lord,“ that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they didn’t continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.“ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days,” says the Lord;“ I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.They will not teach every man his fellow citizen, and every man his brother, saying,‘ Know the Lord,’ for all will know me, from their least to their greatest.For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.”In that he says,“ A new covenant”, he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.

Galatians 4:9-11
But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?You observe days, months, seasons, and years.I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.

Galatians 2:12-14
For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all,“ If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

Galatians 6:13-14
For even they who receive circumcision don’t keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Colossians 2:19-23
and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God’s growth.If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,“ Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”( all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?These things indeed appear like wisdom in self- imposed worship, humility, and severity to the body; but aren’t of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Hebrews 13:9-10
Don’t be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.

Philippians 3:5-7
circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.

Galatians 5:1-6
Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
