Romans 2:24-28

English Standard Version

²⁴ For, ^(A)as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed ^(B)among the Gentiles because of you.”

²⁵ For circumcision indeed is of value ^(C)if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. ²⁶ So, if ^(D)a man who is uncircumcised keeps ^(E)the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded^[a] as circumcision? ²⁷ Then he who is physically^[b] uncircumcised but keeps the law ^(F)will condemn you who have ^(G)the written code^[c] and circumcision but break the law. ²⁸ For ^(H)no one is a Jew ^(I)who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical.
