But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast of your relationship to God

Therefore what advantage does the Jew have, or what is the value of circumcision?

Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of the Gentiles too? Yes, of the Gentiles too!

even us, whom he has called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?

There will be affliction and distress on everyone who does evil, on the Jew first and also the Greek,

but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, for the Jew first and also the Greek.

For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision something that is outward in the flesh,

What then? Are we better off? Certainly not, for we have already charged that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin,

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

but someone is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart by the Spirit and not by the written code. This person’s praise is not from people but from God.

For there is no distinction between the Jew and the Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all, who richly blesses all who call on him.
