Romans 2:25-29
25For circumcision indeed is of value aif you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26So, if ba man who is uncircumcised keeps cthe precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded ▼▼Or counted
as circumcision? 27Then he who is physically ▼▼Or is by nature
uncircumcised but keeps the law fwill condemn you who have gthe written code ▼▼Or the letter
and circumcision but break the law. 28For ino one is a Jew jwho is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29But a Jew is one kinwardly, and lcircumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. mHis praise is not from man but from God.
