28 For the real Jew is not the man who is one outwardly, and the real circumcision is not something physical and external.
29 The real Jew is the man who is one inwardly, and real circumcision is a matter of the heart, a spiritual, not a literal, thing. Such a man receives his praise not from men, but from God.
