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.
Romans 7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good.
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 off 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.
Gal.5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,{or, faithfulness} 5:23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
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 pleasing God by faith in the invisible person of God, and not in walking by sight, but rather obeying the law of love. Moreover, we cannot please God, and please men in their flesh, we are forced as it is by fire to serve God in truth and Spirit, unseen, and unloved by this world. In other words, Paul is addressing an issue in a fleshly immature congregation of Corinthian's whom wanted rules and laws for every action which love cannot do, and still the identifies mark of Holy Spirit and truth in Christ.
Rom. 13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Rom. 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"} 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
