¶ Circumcision verily availeth if thou keep the law: But if thou break the law thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
Ye stiffnecked and of uncircumcised hearts and ears: ye have allways resisted the holy ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
For before God they are not righteous which hear the law: but they which do the law shall be justified.
Thou abhorrest images, and robbest God of his honour. Thou rejoicest in the law, and thorow breaking the law dishonourest God.
Therefore if the uncircumcised keep the right things contained in the law: shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature (if it keep the law) judge thee, which being under the letter and circumcision, dost transgress the law?
For he is not a Jewe, which is a Jewe outward. Neither is that thing circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Circumcision is nothing, uncircumcision is nothing: but the keeping of the commandments of god is altogether.
For they them selves which are circumcised keep not the law: but desire to have you circumcised that they might rejoice in your flesh.
For in Christ Iesu nether circumcision availeth any thing at all nor uncircumcision: but a new creature.
