²⁵ For circumcision is of value if you do the law, but if you should be a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. ²⁶ Therefore, if the uncircumcised person follows the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be credited for circumcision? ²⁷ And the uncircumcised person by nature who carries out the law will judge you who, though provided with the precise written code^[a] and circumcision are a transgressor of the law. ²⁸ For the Jew is not one outwardly^[b], nor is circumcision outwardly^[c], in the flesh. ²⁹ But the Jew is one inwardly^[d], and circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter, whose praise is not from people but from God.
