That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
