Romans 2:23-29
23You whoG3739 1boastG2744 2in the LawG3551, throughG1223 your breakingG3847 the LawG3551, do you dishonorG818 GodG2316? 24For “3the nameG3686 of GodG2316 is blasphemedG987 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 4becauseG1223 of you,” justG2531 asG2531 it is writtenG1125.
25For indeedG3303 circumcisionG4061 isG5623 ofG5623 valueG5623 ifG1437 you 5practiceG4238 6the LawG3551; but ifG1437 you are a violatorG3848 7of the LawG3551, 8your circumcisionG4061 has turnedG1096 intoG1096 uncircumcisionG203. 269SoG3767 ifG1437 10the 11uncircumcisedG203 manG203 12keepsG5442 the requirementsG1345 of the LawG3551, will his uncircumcisionG203 not be regardedG3049 as circumcisionG4061? 27And 13he who is physicallyG5449 uncircumcisedG203, if he keepsG5055 the LawG3551, will he not 14judgeG2919 you whoG3588 15thoughG1223 having the letterG1121 of the Law and circumcisionG4061 are a violatorG3848 16of the LawG3551? 28For 17he is not a JewG2453 whoG3588 is one outwardlyG1722G5318, norG3761 is circumcisionG4061 that which is outwardG5318 in the fleshG4561. 29But 18he is a JewG2453 whoG3588 is one inwardlyG2927; and 19circumcisionG4061 is of the heartG2588, by the 20SpiritG4151, not by the letterG1121; 21and his praiseG1868 is not from peopleG444, but from GodG2316.
