Romans
2:25-29
Whose
Praise is not of Men, But of God
Rom 2:25 For
circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker
of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
Rom 2:26 Therefore
if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his
uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
Rom 2:27 And shall
not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by
the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
Rom 2:28 For he is
not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that
circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Rom 2:29 But he is
a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is
that of the heart, in the spirit, and
not in the letter; whose praise is not
of men, but of God.
