For circumcision is indeed of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? Then he who is physically uncircumcised will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law. For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. But a Jew is on inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man, but from God.
Praise you, Lord, for giving me strength to memorize these two chapters! Use your word to change me as I meditate on it. You are the Giver of all good gifts, especially your word! You have given me the ability to memorize as well as the desire. Thank you for both! Be glorified!
