26 So if a man does what Moses' Teachings demand, won't he be considered circumcised even if he is uncircumcised? 27 The uncircumcised man who carries out what Moses' Teachings say will condemn you for not following them. He will condemn you in spite of the fact that you are circumcised and have Moses' Teachings in writing. 28 A person is not a Jew because of his appearance, nor is circumcision a matter of how the body looks. 29 Rather, a person is a Jew inwardly, and circumcision is something that happens in a person's heart. Circumcision is spiritual, not just a written rule. That person's praise will come from God, not from people. Romans 2:26-29, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
