May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule--to the Israel of God.
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ
1 Corinthians 2:2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world
Romans 6:2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
Romans 6:6-7 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin--because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything
1 Corinthians 7:19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God's commands is what counts.
what counts is the new creation
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation as come; the old is gone, the new is here!
