22 You say people should be faithful in marriage. But are you faithful? You hate idols, yet you rob their temples.
23 You take pride in the Law, but you disobey the Law and bring shame to God.
24 It is just as the Scriptures tell us, “You have made foreigners say insulting things about God.”
25 Being circumcised is worthwhile, if you obey the Law. But if you don't obey the Law, you are no better off than people who are not circumcised.
26 In fact, if they obey the Law, they are as good as anyone who is circumcised.
27 So everyone who obeys the Law, but has never been circumcised, will condemn you. Even though you are circumcised and have the Law, you still don't obey its teachings.
28 Just because you live like a Jew and are circumcised doesn't make you a real Jew.
