Bible verses for Christians regarding circumcision: “Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you be circumcised, Christ will be of no advantage to you.” – …Gal 5:2 “And even those who advocate circumcision don’t really keep the whole law.

Let each man remain in that condition in which he was called.” – 1 Cor. 7:17 “And some men came and were teaching the brethren, ‘Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.’ But Paul and Barnabas together had great dissension and disputing with these men. . .
