7:18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.1 Corinthians 7:18
This passage could not be a physical principal. It would not be possible to become uncircumcised physically.
This passage must be aluding to a spiritual principle.
It concerns the little flock at that time incorporated with grace believers to form body of Christ which made the two one body.
The context of this passage is abiding. If one is called to the Lord as a Jew, then continue as a Jew. It could possibly be that as a Jew, one would continue to keep the ordinances, the feasts. They were to keep the commandments of the Lord.
If one is called as a gentile then there is no need to follow prescribed commandmnets given to Israel, but rather the revelation given to Paul.
