23 You who amake your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?
24 For a“the name of God is bblasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” as it is written.
Circumcision of No Avail
25aFor circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
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 isone outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;
29 but heis a Jew awho isone inwardly; and bcircumcision isthat of the heart, cin the Spirit, not in the letter; dwhose praise is not from men but from God.
