ISV(i)
28 For a person is not a Jew because of his appearance, nor is circumcision something just external and physical.
29 No, a person is a Jew inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, brought about by the Spirit, not by a written law. That person’s praise will come from God, not from people.
3 1Everyone is a SinnerWhat advantage, then, does the Jew have, or what value is there in circumcision?
2 There are all kinds of advantages! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the utterances of God.
