25 For circumcision benefits you if you observe the law, but if you are a lawbreaker, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if an uncircumcised man keeps the law’s requirements, will his uncircumcision not be counted as circumcision?
27 A man who is physically uncircumcised, but who fulfills the law, will judge you who are a lawbreaker in spite of having the letter of the law and circumcision.
28 For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, and true circumcision is not something visible in the flesh.
29 On the contrary, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart — by the Spirit, not the letter. That man’s praise is not from men but from God.
