They simply want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your external appearance. ¹⁴ But may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world! ¹⁵ For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters.

So how can you insist that the gentiles must live like Jews?”
