Romans 2:27-29
New King James Version
27 And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, (A)judge you who, even with your [a]written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law? 28 For (B)he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; 29 but he is a Jew (C)who is one inwardly; and (D)circumcision is that of the heart, (E)in the Spirit, not in the letter; (F)whose [b]praise is not from men but from God.

27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you(A) who, even though you have the[a] written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.
28 A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly,(B) nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.(C) 29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart,(D) by the Spirit,(E) not by the written code.(F) Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.(G)
