1. Galatians 5:6 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What does Paul mean when he says that neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value in Christ?

Galatians 5:6 (ESV)

6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.

For those who are united to Christ through faith, neither the works we do (for example, circumcision) nor the works we do not do (uncircumcision) play any role in our justification.1
