Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Instead, keeping God's commandments is what counts.

We are not again commending ourselves to your favour, but are furnishing you with a ground of boasting on our behalf, so that you may have a reply ready for those with whom superficial appearances are everything and sincerity of heart counts for nothing.

For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith activated and expressed and working through love.

For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; the only thing that matters is a new creation!
