NET Bible
"For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision something that is outward in the flesh,"
— Romans 2:28, NET Bible
“For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:”
“For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh: ”
“For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;”
“For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly: nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh.”
“The true Jew is not one who is only so publicly, and circumcision is not that which may be seen in the flesh:”
“For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:”
For circumcision has its value if you practice the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
Therefore if the uncircumcised man obeys the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?
The physically uncircumcised man, by keeping the law, will judge you to be the transgressor of the law, even though you have the letter and circumcision!
For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision something that is outward in the flesh,
but someone is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart by the Spirit and not by the letter. This person’s praise is not from people but from God.
