{Let him not become uncircumcized} (m(8820)epispasth(935c)).
Present middle imperative of epispa(935c), old verb to draw on. In
LXX (I Macc. 1:15) and Josephus (_Ant_. XII, V. I) in this sense.
Here only in N.T. The point is that a Jew is to remain a Jew, a
Gentile to be a Gentile. Both stand on an equality in the
Christian churches. This freedom about circumcision illustrates
the freedom about Gentile mixed marriages.
