    25For circumcision truly profits if you keep the law: but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.

    26Therefore if the uncircumcised keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?

    27And shall not the uncircumcised which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision transgress the law?

    28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:

    29But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

    12As many as desire to make a good appearance in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only to avoid suffering persecution for the cross of Christ.

    13For neither do they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, so that they may boast in your flesh.

    14But God forbid that I should boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

    15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.

    16Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by the faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

    17But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? God forbid.

    18For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

    19For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.

    20I have been crucified with Christ; nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

    21I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.
