Romans 2:23-25

Romans 2:23-25
New Century Version
23 You brag about having God’s law, but you bring shame to God by breaking his law, 24 just as the Scriptures say: “Those who are not Jews speak against God’s name because of you.”[a]
25 If you follow the law, your circumcision has meaning. But if you break the law, it is as if you were never circumcised.
