Romans 2:25

MSG

NIV

25 Circumcision, the surgical ritual that marks you as a Jew, is great if you live in accord with God's law. But if you don't, it's worse than not being circumcised.
25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.
