Romans 2:25-29
25For indeedG3303 circumcisionG4061 is of valueG5623 ifG1437 you 1practiceG4238 2the LawG3551; but ifG1437 you are a transgressorG3848 3of the LawG3551, 4your circumcisionG4061 has becomeG1096 uncircumcisionG203.
265SoG3767 ifG1437 6the 7uncircumcisedG203 manG203 8keepsG5442 the requirementsG1345 of the LawG3551, will not his uncircumcisionG203 be regardedG3049 as circumcisionG4061?
27And 9he who is physicallyG5449 uncircumcisedG203, if he keepsG5055 the LawG3551, will he not 10judgeG2919 you whoG3588 11thoughG1223 having the letterG1121 of the Law and circumcisionG4061 are a transgressorG3848 12of the LawG3551?
28For 13he is not a JewG2453 whoG3588 is one outwardlyG1722G5318, norG3761 is circumcisionG4061 that which is outwardG5318 in the fleshG4561.
29But 14he is a JewG2453 whoG3588 is one inwardlyG2927; and 15circumcisionG4061 is that which is of the heartG2588, by the 16SpiritG4151, not by the letterG1121; 17and his praiseG1868 is not from menG444, but from GodG2316.
