25 For indeed circumcision is of value if you (A)practice [a]the Law, but if you are a transgressor [b]of the Law, (B)your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26 (C)So if (D)the [c]uncircumcised man (E)observes the righteous requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision? 27 And (F)he who is physically uncircumcised, if he [d]fulfills the Law, will he not (G)judge you who, through the letter of the Law and circumcision, are a transgressor [e]of the Law? 28 For (H)he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. 29 But (I)he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and (J)circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the (K)Spirit, not by the letter; (L)and his praise is not from men, but from God.
