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.

Romans 3:29-31

29Or nis God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30since oGod is onewho will justify the circumcised by faith and pthe uncircumcised through faith. 31Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
