Appears 20 times in Scripture
“Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.”
“If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?”
“In what context was it credited? Was it after his circumcision, or before? It was not after, but before.”
“since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.”
“Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.”
“The one who is physically uncircumcised yet keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.”
“And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.”
