    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.
