You shall not do altogether as we do here this day, every man that which is pleasing in his own sight.

For as yet you have not arrived at the rest and the inheritance, which the Lord our God gives you.

For I desire mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole burnt offerings.

But they are as a man transgressing a covenant.

But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.

Therefore, if a Gentile keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God.

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

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but a new creation.
