The true circumcision is worshiping through the Spirit, not the physical circumcision. Paul had all the Jewish holy credentials, but they were worthless compared to the value of knowing Jesus as Lord.
Even Paul recognized that he hadn’t yet attained God’s perfection, but continued to strive towards Christ’s ideal. Yet he could hold himself up as a person to be imitated. So likewise, we can be positive examples to those around us in whatever way we’re correctly following Jesus.
Father, even as I recognize I’m no where near the perfection You have called us to yet, and yet, in the ways that I am following You, may I be a positive example to others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
