Romans 3:1 Cross References - Lamsa

¹ WHAT then is the superiority of the Jew? or what is the importance of circumcision?

²⁵ For circumcision is profitable only if you keep the law: but if you break the law, then circumcision becomes uncircumcision. ²⁶ Therefore, if the uncircumcision keep the statutes of the law, behold would not the uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? ²⁷ And the uncircumcision which fulfills the law naturally, will condemn you, who, while in possession of the scripture and circumcision, transgress the law. ²⁸ For it is not the one who is outwardly a Jew, who is the real Jew; neither is circumcision that which is seen in the flesh. ²⁹ But a real Jew is one who is inwardly so, and circumcision is of the heart, spiritually and not literally; whose praise is not from men but from God.

³² If, after the manner of men, I were thrown to wild beasts at EphÆe-sus, what good would come to me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die.

⁹ Do not be carried away by strange and divers doctrines. For it is a good thing to strengthen our hearts with grace; not with food, because it did not help those who greatly sought after it.
