    22You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

    25Circumcision indeed has value if you obey the law, but if you are a lawbreaker, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

    26So, if those who are uncircumcised keep the righteous requirements of the law, will their uncircumcision not be regarded as circumcision?

    27The one who is not physically circumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.

    28For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.

    29But a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. Such a person’s praise is not from people, but from God.

    14For when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things required by the law, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

    15They demonstrate the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts alternately accusing or even defending them.

    15We are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,

    16yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. So we also have believed in Christ Jesus in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
