23	ὃς ἐν νόμῳ καυχᾶσαι διὰ τῆς παραβάσεως τοῦ νόμου τὸν Θεὸν ἀτιμάζεις	You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law.	You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
24	τὸ γὰρ Ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ δι’ ὑμᾶς βλασφημεῖται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καθὼς γέγραπται	For, as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”	As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”
25	Περιτομὴ μὲν γὰρ ὠφελεῖ ἐὰν νόμον πράσσῃς ἐὰν δὲ παραβάτης νόμου ᾖς ἡ περιτομή σου ἀκροβυστία γέγονεν	For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.	Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.
26	ἐὰν οὖν ἡ ἀκροβυστία τὰ δικαιώματα τοῦ νόμου φυλάσσῃ οὐχ ἡ ἀκροβυστία αὐτοῦ εἰς περιτομὴν λογισθήσεται	So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?	So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?
27	καὶ κρινεῖ ἡ ἐκ φύσεως ἀκροβυστία τὸν νόμον τελοῦσα σὲ τὸν διὰ γράμματος καὶ περιτομῆς παραβάτην νόμου	Then he who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law.	The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.
28	Οὐ γὰρ ὁ ἐν τῷ φανερῷ Ἰουδαῖός ἐστιν οὐδὲ ἡ ἐν τῷ φανερῷ ἐν σαρκὶ περιτομή	For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical.	A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.
29	ἀλλ’ ὁ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ Ἰουδαῖος καὶ περιτομὴ καρδίας ἐν πνεύματι οὐ γράμματι οὗ ὁ ἔπαινος οὐκ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων ἀλλ’ ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ	But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.	No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.
