²⁸ For ^(A)he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. ²⁹ But ^(B)he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and ^(C)circumcision is of the heart, by the ^(D)Spirit, not by the letter; ^(E)and his praise is not from people, but from God.

¹¹ and in Him ^(A)you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed without hands, in the removal of ^(B)the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ, ¹² having been ^(C)buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also ^(D)raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who ^(E)raised Him from the dead.
