Acts 15:24
15:24 Since we have heard that some have gone out from among us with no orders from us and have confused
you, upsetting
your minds
by what they said,
Acts 15:1
The Jerusalem Council
15:1 Now some men came down from Judea and began to teach the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”
Colossians 1:18-19
1:18 He is the head of the body, the church, as well as the beginning, the firstborn from among the dead, so that he himself may become first in all things.
1:19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in the Son
Galatians 2:1
Confirmation from the Jerusalem Apostles
2:1 Then after fourteen years I went up to Jerusalem again with Barnabas, taking Titus along too.
Galatians 2:3
2:3 Yet
not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, although he was a Greek.
Galatians 5:6
5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight – the only thing that matters is faith working through love.
Galatians 6:13-16
6:13 For those who are circumcised do not obey the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your flesh.
6:14 But 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.
6:15 For
neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for
anything; the only thing that matters is a new creation!
6:16 And all who will behave
in accordance with this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on the Israel of God.
