Therefore you shall circumcise the hardness of your heart, and you shall not stiffen your neck.

And the Lord shall purge your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live.

Circumcise yourselves to your God, and circumcise your hardness of heart, you men of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, lest My wrath go forth as fire, and burn, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your devices.

but he [is] a Jew that [is one] inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, whose praise is not of men but of God.

For we are the [true] circumcision, worshipping by the Spirit of God, rejoicing in Christ Jesus, and having no confidence in the flesh,

"We heard Him saying, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands, and after three days I will build another [one] not made with hands.'"

However, the Most High does not dwell in handmaid sanctuaries, just as the prophet says:

The God who made the world and all the things in it, Him being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands,

For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made by hand, eternal in the heavens.

Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh--who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made by hands in the flesh--

But Christ came [as] a High Priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

For Christ did not enter into [the] holies made by hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf;

But now you yourselves are to put off all [these]: wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

Do not lie to one another, since you have stripped off the old man with his practices,

knowing this, that our old man was crucified [with Him], so that the body of sin may be done away with, [that] we should no longer serve sin.

that you put off, concerning your former way of life, the old man which is being corrupted according to the deceitful lusts,

And when eight days were completed, so they could circumcise Him, His name was called JESUS, the [name] given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, all things have become new.

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the [life] which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.

But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

so that He might redeem those under the law, so that we might receive the adoption.

For we are His handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

that at that time you were apart from Christ, being estranged from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, not having hope and atheists in the world.

For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and who destroyed the dividing wall of separation,

and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, putting to death the enmity in Himself.

Because through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
