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

    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?

    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.
