(23) Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
Romans
2
(24) For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
Romans
2
(25) For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
Romans
2
(26) Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
Romans
2
(27) And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
Romans
2
(28) For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Romans
2
(29) But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Romans
