    12Those who want to make a good showing in external matters are trying to force you to be circumcised. They do so only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.

    13For those who are circumcised do not obey the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your flesh.

    14But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

    25For circumcision has its value if you practice the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

    26Therefore if the uncircumcised man obeys the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

    27The physically uncircumcised man, by keeping the law, will judge you to be the transgressor of the law, even though you have the letter and circumcision!

    28For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision something that is outward in the flesh,

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

    3And I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
