“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will punish all who are circumcised only in the flesh—
But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.
Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
Take notice: I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.
“Only you have I known from all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”
Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and be placed with the uncircumcised!
You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners. For I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.”
