Romans 2:24-29

24For, as it is written, "The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."

25For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

26So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

27Then he who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law.

28For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical.

29But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.
