'Matters' in the Bible

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight -- the only thing that matters is faith working through love.

Those who want to make a good showing in external matters are trying to force you to be circumcised. They do so only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.

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