25 La ceremonia judía de la circuncisión solo tiene valor si obedeces la ley de Dios; pero si no obedeces la ley de Dios, no estás en mejor condición que un gentil incircunciso.

Romanos 2:25 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 2:25

For circumcision verily profiteth
The plea from circumcision in favour of the Jews, and their acceptance with God, and justification before him, is here, and in the following verses, considered. The apostle allows that circumcision was profitable; which must be understood whilst it was in force, before the abrogation of it, for since, it is not profitable but pernicious; and then it was only profitable, in case the law was kept:

if thou keepest the law;
that is, perfectly; for circumcision obliged persons to keep the whole law. Now the circumcised Jews did not keep it in such sense; wherefore circumcision was of no use to them, but, on the contrary, was an handwriting against them.

But if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made
uncircumcision;
that is, it is not accounted circumcision; it is of no avail; such a man was all one as an uncircumcised Gentile, and appeared to be uncircumcised in a spiritual sense: the apostle perhaps alludes to a practice among some of the Jews, to bring on and draw over the foreskin, after they had been circumcised; (See Gill on 1 Corinthians 7:18).

Romanos 2:25 In-Context

23 Te sientes muy orgulloso de conocer la ley pero deshonras a Dios al quebrantarla.

24 No es extraño que las Escrituras digan: «Los gentiles blasfeman el nombre de Dios por causa de ustedes»
.

25 La ceremonia judía de la circuncisión solo tiene valor si obedeces la ley de Dios; pero si no obedeces la ley de Dios, no estás en mejor condición que un gentil incircunciso.

26 Y si los gentiles obedecen la ley de Dios, ¿acaso él no los considerará su propio pueblo?

27 De hecho, los gentiles incircuncisos que cumplen la ley de Dios los condenarán a ustedes, judíos, que están circuncidados y tienen la ley de Dios pero no la obedecen.
