The Torah has strong parallels to 1 Corinthians 7:18, which advises that those who are circumcised should not seek to undo it. One key passage is Genesis 17:9-14, where God establishes circumcision as an everlasting covenant with Abraham and his descendants. This underscores the importance of circumcision as a sign of belonging to God’s people. Another relevant passage is Leviticus 12:3, which commands that male infants be circumcised on the eighth day. This reinforces the idea that circumcision is a divine ordinance, not something to be reversed. Interestingly, historical sources indicate that some Jews in the Hellenistic period attempted to “erase” their circumcision to assimilate into Greek culture. This aligns with Paul’s warning that those who are circumcised should not seek to undo it and is consistent with the Torah. This is how Paul and the NT taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
