Romans 2:23-29

23Thou thatG3739 makest thy boastG2744 ofG1722 the lawG3551, throughG1223 breakingG3588G3847 the lawG3588G3551 dishonourest thouG818 GodG3588G2316? 24ForG1063 the nameG3686 of GodG3588G2316 is blasphemedG987 amongG1722 the GentilesG3588G1484 throughG1223 youG4771, asG2531 it is writtenG1125.

25ForG1063 circumcisionG4061 verilyG3303 profitethG5623, ifG1437 thou keepG4238 the lawG3551: butG1161 ifG1437 thou beG1510 a breakerG3848 of the lawG3551, thyG4771 circumcisionG3588G4061 is madeG1096 uncircumcisionG203. 26ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 the uncircumcisionG3588G203 keepG5442 the righteousnessG3588G1345 of the lawG3588G3551, shall notG3780 hisG846 uncircumcisionG3588G203 be countedG3049 forG1519 circumcisionG4061? 27AndG2532 shall notG2919 uncircumcisionG203 which is byG1537 natureG5449, if it fulfilG5055 the lawG3588G3551, judgeG2919 theeG4771, whoG3588 byG1223 the letterG1121 andG2532 circumcisionG4061 dost transgressG3848 the lawG3551? 28ForG1063 heG3588 isG1510 notG3756 a JewG2453, which is oneG3588 outwardlyG1722G3588G5318; neitherG3761 is that circumcisionG3588G4061, which is outwardG3588G5318 inG1722 the fleshG4561: 29ButG235 heG3588 is a JewG2453, which is oneG3588 inwardlyG2927; andG2532 circumcisionG4061 is that of the heartG2588, inG1722 the spiritG4151, and notG3756 in the letterG1121; whoseG3739 praiseG3588G1868 is notG3756 ofG1537 menG444, butG235 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316.
