Romans 2:25

---

← Romans 2:24	Romans 2:25 (KJV)	Romans 2:26 →
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.	For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.	Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
