<p>2:11 <i>Wherefore remember, that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by those called Circumcision (which is in the flesh and made with hands)</i>- The reference to circumcision as being &quot;made with hands&quot; connects with the preceding statement that we are not saved by works what is done with hands but we are instead the work of God (:10). Instead of circumcision of the flesh, done with human hands, we have God working upon our most intimate and personal inner being by His transforming Spirit. The connection is again to Romans: &quot;But he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not of men but of God&quot; (Rom. 2:29). In this sense &quot;we are the circumcision who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh&quot; (Phil. 3:3).</p>
