1 Corinthians 7:18-19 
(18)  Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. 
(19)  Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. 


7:18-19. The external operation of circumcision or the obliteration of the same (cf. [apocryphal] 1 Maccabees 1:15-16) was a matter of little importance compared with keeping God’s commands, which for Paul meant being controlled by the Spirit (cf. Rom. 2:25-29).
