“For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.”
Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. — Paul's legal logic is unforgiving: circumcision ('peritemnō') obligates ('opheiletes' — bound as debtor) the one circumcised to keep 'holos nomos' (the whole law), every commandment, an impossible burden that circumcision sets in motion.
