Romans 2:26

“If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won't his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?”

Verse in context — Romans 2

For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," just as it is written.

For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won't his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?

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?

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;

A deep explanation of salvation by grace through faith in Christ.
