<p>2:25&nbsp;<i>For circumcision indeed profits, if you be a doer of the law; but if you be a transgressor of the law</i>- The corollary of this is that Christ will &ldquo;profit&rdquo; s.w. nothing if we chose to be circumcised (Gal. 5:2). The analogy of a wedding ring is perhaps helpful to explain Paul&rsquo;s sense here. A wedding ring, a ritualistic external token, is helpful as a sign of marriage; but if one breaks the marriage covenant, the wedding ring cp. Circumcision becomes bereft of meaning and just a pointless external physicality.<br /></p><p><i>Your circumcision has become uncircumcision</i>- Humanly speaking in the first century, this was impossible. Once the flesh was cut off, this was irreversible. But in God&rsquo;s opinion- and that surely is Paul&rsquo;s point- circumcision no longer counts if the covenant which defines the Law is broken. The Jew is therefore as the Gentile, the circumcised becomes uncircumcised because the Law, the old covenant which defined the whole relationship, has been broken.</p>
