²⁹ But ^(A)he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and ^(B)circumcision is of the heart, by the ^(C)Spirit, not by the letter; ^(D)and his praise is not from people, but from God.

¹¹ For the grace of God has ^(A)appeared, ^[a](B)bringing salvation to all people, ^12 [b]instructing us to deny ungodliness and ^(C)worldly desires and ^(D)to live sensibly, righteously, and in a godly manner ^(E)in the present age, ¹³ looking for the blessed hope and the ^(F)appearing of the glory of ^[c](G)our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, ¹⁴ who ^(H)gave Himself for us ^(I)to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to ^(J)purify for Himself a ^(K)people for His own possession, ^(L)eager for good deeds.

¹³ for ^(A)if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are ^(B)putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
