Romans 2:25-29
25For indeed circumcision is of value if you apractice 1the Law, but if you are a transgressor 2of the Law, byour circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26aSo if bthe 1uncircumcised man cobserves the righteous requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision? 27And ahe who is physically uncircumcised, if he 1fulfills the Law, will he not bjudge you who, through the letter of the Law and circumcision, are a transgressor 2of the Law? 28For ahe is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. 29But ahe is a Jew who is one inwardly; and bcircumcision is that which is of the heart, by the cSpirit, not by the letter; dand his praise is not from men, but from God.
