Romans 2:26

Therefore if the uncircumcised man obeys ¹  the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

If those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?

So if the uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

And if the Gentiles obey God’s law, won’t God give them all the rights and honors of being his own people?

The reverse is also true: The uncircumcised who keep God's ways are as good as the circumcised--

If those who have not circumcision keep the rules of the law, will it not be credited to them as circumcision?

So, if those who are uncircumcised keep the requirements of the law, will not their uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?

Therefore if the uncircumcised man obeys ¹  the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

¹ tn The Greek word φυλάσσω (fulassw, traditionally translated “keep”) in this context connotes preservation of and devotion to an object as well as obedience.
