1 Corinthians 7:19

Concerning Christian Marriage

¹⁸ Was anyone at the time of his calling [from God already] circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called while uncircumcised? He is not to be circumcised. ¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping the commandments of God. ²⁰ Each one should remain in the condition in which he was [when he was] called.

1 Samuel 15:22

You are my friends if you keep on doing what I command you.
