Romans 2:28 in Context — Romans 2

26 Si donc l’incirconcis observe les ordonnances de la loi, son incirconcision ne sera-t-elle pas tenue pour circoncision?

27 L’incirconcis de nature, qui accomplit la loi, ne te condamnera-t-il pas, toi qui la transgresses, tout en ayant la lettre de la loi et la circoncision?

28 Le Juif, ce n’est pas celui qui en a les dehors; et la circoncision, ce n’est pas celle qui est visible dans la chair.

29 Mais le Juif, c’est celui qui l’est intérieurement; et la circoncision, c’est celle du cœur, selon l’esprit et non selon la lettre. La louange de ce Juif ne vient pas des hommes, mais de Dieu.
