Romans 2:28-29
Contemporary English Version
28 Just because you live like a Jew and are circumcised doesn't make you a real Jew. 29 (A) To be a real Jew you must obey the Law. True circumcision is something that happens deep in your heart, not something done to your body. And besides, you should want praise from God and not from humans.
