(Deuteronomy 10:12-21) "¶ And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, {13} To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good? {14} Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD’S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is. {15} Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day. {16} Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. {17} 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: {18} He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. {19} Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. {20} Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. {21} He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen."

(Deuteronomy 30:6) "And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live."

(Romans 2:29) "But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God."

(Colossians 2:8-16) "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. {9} For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. {10} And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: {11} In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: {12} Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. {13} And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; {14} Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; {15} And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. {16} Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:"
