A person is not a true Jew if he is only a Jew in his physical body. True circumcision {\cf2\super [23]} is not only on the outside of the body.
This shows the full meaning of the Scripture {\cf2\super [13]} that says: “Abraham believed God. And God accepted Abraham’s faith. That faith made Abraham right with God.” {\cf2\super [14]} Abraham was called “God’s friend.” {\cf2\super [15]}
