And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?(Romans 2:27)
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:(Romans 2:28)
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?(Romans 3:1)
Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.(Romans 3:2)
For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?(Romans 3:3)
