Romans 3:1 Cross References - Moffatt

¹ Then what is the Jew's superiority? What is the good of circumcision?

²⁵ Circumcision is certainly of use, provided you keep the Law; but if you are a breaker of the Law, then your circumcision is turned into uncircumcision. ²⁶ (If then the uncircumcised observe the requirements of the Law, shall not their uncircumcision be reckoned equivalent to circumcision? ²⁷ And shall not those who are physically uncircumcised and who fulfil the Law, judge you who are a breaker of the Law for all your written code and circumcision?) ²⁸ He is no Jew who is merely a Jew outwardly, nor is circumcision something outward in the flesh; ²⁹ he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, spiritual not literal — praised by God, not by man.

³² What would it avail me that, humanly speaking, I 'fought with wild beasts' at Ephesus? If dead men do not rise, let us eat and drink, for we will be dead to-morrow!

⁹ Never let yourselves be carried away with a variety of novel doctrines; for the right thing is to have one's heart strengthened by grace, not by the eating of food — that has never been any use to those who have had recourse to it.
