'Circumcision' in the Bible

But these, [when they] saw that I had been entrusted [with] the gospel to the uncircumcision, just as Peter to the circumcision

(for the one who was at work through Peter for [his] apostleship to the circumcision was at work also through me for the Gentiles),

and [when] James and Cephas and John--those thought to be pillars--acknowledged the grace given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right [hand] of fellowship, in order that we [should go] to the Gentiles and they to the circumcision.

For before certain people came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles, but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, [because he] was afraid of those [who were] of the circumcision,

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

Now, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.

For neither is circumcision anything nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
