Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

For I am conscious of nothing against myself, but not by this am I vindicated. But the one who judges me is the Lord.

Therefore, concerning the eating of food sacrificed to idols, we know that "an idol [is] nothing in the world" and that "[there is] no God except one."

And if I have [the gift of] prophecy and I know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that [I can] remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

And if I parcel out all my possessions, and if I hand over my body in order that I will be burned, but do not have love, it benefits [me] nothing.
