Romans 2:24-26
Complete Jewish Bible
24 as it says in the Tanakh, “For it is because of you that God’s name is blasphemed by the Goyim.”[a] 25 For circumcision is indeed of value if you do what Torah says. But if you are a transgressor of Torah, your circumcision has become uncircumcision! 26 Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the Torah, won’t his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?

Circumcision of No Avail
25 (C)For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26 Therefore, (D)if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
