Whom

Circumcise your heart, and do not stiffen your neck. (Circumcise: Cut short the foreskin.) (Remove hardness of the heart.)

Jehovah your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, to LOVE JEHOVAH YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR BEING, that you may live.

Be circumcised by Jehovah, and get rid of the foreskins of your hearts (cleanse your hearts), people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. If you do not, my fury will blaze like a fire. It will burn, and no one will be able to put it out. This is because of the evil you do.

But he is a Jew who is so on the inside with circumcision of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

We are those with true circumcision who worship by the Spirit of God. We glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.

Without

We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.

The most High does not dwell in houses made with hands as the prophet says,

The God that made the world and all things in it is the Lord of heaven and earth. He does not live in temples made with hands.

We know that if our earthly house (human body) (habitation of life) is destroyed; we have a building from God. It is an everlasting house in the heavens, not made with human hands.

Remember that you were once people of the nations in the flesh. You are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision, in the flesh, made by human hands.

Christ came as the high priest of the good things that are now here. He also went into a much better tent that is not made by humans and does not belong to this creation.

In putting

Now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech out of your mouth.

We know this that our old self was impaled with him that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer be in bondage to sin.

You put away your former way (course) (behavior) (conversation) of life, the old self that was corrupt with the lusts of deceit.

General references

If therefore someone not circumcised obeys the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be considered circumcision?
