Circumcision
Gen 17:10-14
This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male
child among you shall be circumcised; 11 and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign
of the covenant between Me and you. 12 He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male child in your
generations, he who is born in your house or bought with money from any foreigner who is not your descendant. 13 He who is
born in your house and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an
everlasting covenant. 14 And the uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person
shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant."
NKJV
Deut 10:16
Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be stiff-necked no longer.
NKJV
Deut 30:6
And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your
heart and with all your soul, that you may live.
NKJV
Jer 4:4
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD,
And take away the foreskins of your hearts...
NKJV
Rom 2:25-29
For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has
become uncircumcision. 26 Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his
uncircumcision be counted as circumcision? 27 And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge
you who, even with your written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law? 28 For he is not a Jew who is one
outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; 29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision
is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.
NKJV
Rom 3:1-2
What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? 2 Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were
committed the oracles of God.
NKJV
Rom 4:7-12
"Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered;
8 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin."
9 Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was
accounted to Abraham for righteousness. 10 How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while
circumcised, but while uncircumcised. 11 And 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 are uncircumcised,
that righteousness might be imputed to them also, 12 and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision,
but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised.
NKJV
Col 2:11-12
In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the
sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through
faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.
NKJV
1 Cor 7:18-19
Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? Let him not be
circumcised. 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.
NKJV
