kon -sizh´un ( κατατομή , katatomḗ , "mutilation," "cutting"): A term by which Paul contemptuously designates the merely fleshly circumcision upon which the Judaizers insisted as being necessary for Gentile converts (Philippians 3:2 ), as distinguished from peritomḗ , the true circumcision (Philippians 3:3 ). Compare Galatians 5:12 and Deuteronomy 23:1 , and see CIRCUMCISION .
