Romans 2:24-29
24For “1the nameG3686 of GodG2316 is blasphemedG987 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 2becauseG1223 of you,” justG2531 as it is writtenG1125.
25For indeedG3303 circumcisionG4061 is of valueG5623 ifG1437 you 3practiceG4238 4the LawG3551; but ifG1437 you are a transgressorG3848 5of the LawG3551, 6your circumcisionG4061 has becomeG1096 uncircumcisionG203. 267SoG3767 ifG1437 8the 9uncircumcisedG203 manG203 10keepsG5442 the requirementsG1345 of the LawG3551, will not his uncircumcisionG203 be regardedG3049 as circumcisionG4061? 27And 11he who is physicallyG5449 uncircumcisedG203, if he keepsG5055 the LawG3551, will he not 12judgeG2919 you whoG3588 13thoughG1223 having the letterG1121 of the Law and circumcisionG4061 are a transgressorG3848 14of the LawG3551? 28For 15he is not a JewG2453 whoG3588 is one outwardlyG1722G5318, norG3761 is circumcisionG4061 that which is outwardG5318 in the fleshG4561. 29But 16he is a JewG2453 whoG3588 is one inwardlyG2927; and 17circumcisionG4061 is that which is of the heartG2588, by the 18SpiritG4151, not by the letterG1121; 19and his praiseG1868 is not from menG444, but from GodG2316.
