Romans 2:28-3:2 For the true Jew is not the man who is simply a Jew outwardly, and true circumcision is not that which is outward and bodily.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁸ For the true Jew is not the man who is simply a Jew outwardly, and true circumcision is not that which is outward and bodily. ²⁹ But the true Jew is one inwardly, and true circumcision is heart-circumcision--not literal, but spiritual; and such people receive praise not from men, but from God. ³ ¹ What special privilege, then, has a Jew? Or what benefit is to be derived from circumcision? ² The privilege is great from every point of view. First of all, because the Jews were entrusted with God's truth.
