4. The penalty if one is not circumcised after reaching adulthood:[1]
Once a child reaches the age of adulthood, then he is liable for the penalty of excision if he remains uncircumcised.[1] [However, some Poskim[2] rule that a person is not liable for the penalty of excision until he reaches the age of 20 years old]
Transgress Kareis every day that does not do Mila:[3] An adult male Jew who was not circumcised as a child transgresses the penalty of excision every single day that he remains uncircumcised from the day that he reaches adulthood.
