Romans 2:28--3:1
2:28 For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision something that is outward in the flesh,
2:29 but someone is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart by the Spirit and not by the written code. This person’s praise is not from people but from God.
3:1 Therefore what advantage does the Jew have, or what is the value of circumcision?
