23 You who (A)make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law? 24 For (B)“the name of God is (C)blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” as it is written.
Circumcision of No Avail
25 (D)For 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, (E)if 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, (F)judge you who, even with your [a]written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law? 28 For (G)he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; 29 but he is a Jew (H)who is one inwardly; and (I)circumcision is that of the heart, (J)in the Spirit, not in the letter; (K)whose [b]praise is not from men but from God.

Romans 2:23-29

Romans 2:23-29
New International Version
23 You who boast in the law,(A) do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”[a](B)
25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law,(C) but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.(D) 26 So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements,(E) will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?(F) 27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you(G) who, even though you have the[b] written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.
28 A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly,(H) nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.(I) 29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart,(J) by the Spirit,(K) not by the written code.(L) Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.(M)
