28 For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something external and physical. 29 Rather, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and real circumcision is a matter of the heart—it is spiritual and not literal. Such a person receives praise not from others but from God. Romans 2:28-29, NRSV Catholic Edition. Copyright © 1989, 1993 by the National Council of the Churches of Christ.
