21. You, then, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who proclaim that a man should not steal, do you steal?
22. You who say, “Do not commit adultery,” do you commit adultery? You who abominate idols, do you rob temples?
23. You who make your boast in the Torah, through the transgression of the Torah do you disrespect Elohim?
24. For “The Name of Elohim is blasphemed among the gentiles because of you,” as it has been written.
25. For circumcision indeed profits if you practise the Torah, but if you are a transgressor of the Torah, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26. So, if an uncircumcised one watches over the righteousnesses of the Torah, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned as circumcision?
27. And the uncircumcised by nature, who perfects the Torah, shall judge you who notwithstanding letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the Torah!
28. For he is not a Yehuḏite who is so outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.
29. But a Yehuḏite is he who is so inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in Spirit, not literally, whose praise is not from men but from Elohim.
