"Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a Great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward..." (Deut.10:16-17).
"...We are here taught our duty to ourselves. Circumcise your hearts. Cast away all corrupt affections and inclinations, which hinder you from fearing and loving God. By nature we do not love God. This is original sin, the source whence our wickedness proceeds; and the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be; so then they that are in the flesh cannot please God, Rom. viii. 5-9. Let us, without delay or reserve, come and cleave to our reconciled God in Jesus Christ, that we may love, serve, and obey him acceptably, and be daily changed into his image, from glory to glory, by the Spirit of the Lord..." (excerpt from Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary: Deut.10:verses 12-22)
What it boiled down to was that so long as a man accepted Christ as his savior he would not have to be genitally mutilated.

Romans 4 What is the significance of Abraham being considered right or 'righteous' before circumcision?
Paul is talking to the Church in Rome. It was made up of both Jewish and non-Jewish believers. He was making the argument that Abraham's righteousness was attributed to him BEFORE he was ever circumcised (Romans 4:10,11), thus opening up "salvation by faith" to all, including the uncircumcised non-Jewish Roman believers. It (the argument) obviates the need for a new, non-Jewish [gentile] believer to be circumcised, as some in the fledgling Church insisted they should be. Paul couldn't address the circumcision issue without first laying the foundation of Abraham's pre-circumcision righteousness. Being considered righteous, or right before God, is a spiritual matter of the heart and is not reliant on a physical ritual. Physical circumcision is only an outward sign and can mean absolutely nothing: God wants circumcision of the heart, not the flesh:-Rom 2:25-29 MKJV For circumcision truly profits if you keep the Law, but if you are a transgressor of the Law, circumcision becomes uncircumcision. (v.26) If then the uncircumcision keeps the ordinances of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? (v.27) And the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the Law, shall it not judge you, who through letter and circumcision become transgressors of the Law? (v.28) For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that outwardly in flesh; (v.29) but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart; in spirit and not in letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.Rom 4:9-13 MKJV ... For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. (v.10) How then was it reckoned? Being in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. (v.11) And he [Abraham] received a sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith while still uncircumcised; so that he might be the father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for righteousness to be imputed to them also; (v.12) and a father of circumcision to those not of the circumcision only, but also to those walking by the steps of the faith of our father Abraham during uncircumcision. (v.13) For the promise that he should be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.1Co 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.Deu 10:16 Therefore, circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer stiff-necked.Jer 4:4 Circumcise yourselves to Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of your heart, men of Judah and people of Jerusalem; lest My fury come forth like fire, and burn so that none can put it out; because of the evil of your doings.Rom 2:29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart; in spirit and not in letter; ...
