Romans 2:26

The Jews and the Law

25Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.26If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?27The one who is physically uncircumcised yet keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.
