    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.
