For indeed circumcision profits if you keep the law; but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
"You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, you also do.
(for not the hearers of the law are righteous with God, but the doers of the law shall be justified;
You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God through the transgression of the law?
Therefore, if a Gentile keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?
And will not the physically uncircumcised, who fulfills the law, judge you along with your written code and circumcision, a transgressor of the law?
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in flesh;
Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God.
For not even those who are circumcised keep the law themselves, but they wish you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but a new creation.
