Romans 2:28

26 Therefore, aif an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?  
27 And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, ajudge you who, even with your written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law?  
28 For ahe is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;  
29 but he is a Jew awho is one inwardly; and bcircumcision is that of the heart, cin the Spirit, not in the letter; dwhose praise is not from men but from God.
