Romans 2:26

“Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.

But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.

As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.”

Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.

knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.

But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, to love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.

“Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

“Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in Yahweh, your God; for he gives you the early rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the early rain and the latter rain, as before.

When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, “Most certainly I tell you, I haven’t found so great a faith, not even in Israel.

Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed.” His servant was healed in that hour.

But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”

that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity,

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”

Jesus answered, “The greatest is, ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one:

and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.”

When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”

He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.

For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified

We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.

But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.

that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.

For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,

Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.

You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,

In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ,

where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.

to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.

This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.

You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore Yahweh your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

Remember, and don’t forget, how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh.

Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.

You shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt. You shall observe and do these statutes.

You shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there. You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God.

For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.

if you then have dealt truly and righteously with Jerubbaal and with his house today, then rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you;

Circumcise yourselves to Yahweh, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go out like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.

Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.

“We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’ ”

Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”

Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”

However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,

He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.

Won’t the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?

since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),

For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,

and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for God’s Kingdom who are of the circumcision, men who have been a comfort to me.

But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,

In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.
