1Cor.7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
There is no law against love, what does this mean, it means if you have a law too circumcise the flesh than one is not walking in love which has no law against it.
Circumcision was an outward sign of a better law of love, the superior law Christ brought in by his own love for his Father YHWH. The identifying mark of Christ and his followers is love and not circumcision, yes, obeying the law of love is proof a person is a Christian's not the cutting of the flesh through the law of circumcision. Here Paul was dealing with fleshly Christian's wanting righteous through works of the flesh, as do all those walking by rules of laws for the sinful flesh.
Those seeking glory of men, and making a pleasing showing in their flesh want rituals for the flesh to prove they are righteous, but those loving God receiving the promise Holy Spirit please God by faith in the invisible person of God, not walking by sight, but obeying the law of love. Moreover, we cannot please God, and please men, we are forced as if by fire to serve God in truth and Spirit unseen and unloved by this world.
