Romanos 2:28 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 2:28

For he is not a Jew which is one outwardly
The apostle removes the plea in favour of the Jews, taken from their name and privilege, by distinguishing between a Jew and a Jew, and between circumcision and circumcision: "he is not a Jew which is one outwardly"; by mere name, nature, nation, religion, and profession:

neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
which takes away the flesh of the foreskin, but not the carnality of the heart; leaves a mark upon the flesh, but no impression on the mind. This is nothing, is not the true, solid, substantial, spiritual circumcision, which only avails in the sight of God.

Romanos 2:28 In-Context

26 Por tanto, si el incircunciso cumple los requisitos de la ley, ¿no se considerará su incircuncisión como circuncisión?
27 Y si el que es físicamente incircunciso guarda la ley, ¿no te juzgará a ti, que aunque tienes la letra de la ley y eres circuncidado, eres transgresor de la ley?
28 Porque no es judío el que lo es exteriormente, ni la circuncisión es la externa, en la carne;
29 sino que es judío el que lo es interiormente, y la circuncisión es la del corazón, por el Espíritu, no por la letra; la alabanza del cual no procede de los hombres, sino de Dios.
