Lesson 9: Romans Chapter 2 Verses 25-29

Romans Chapter 2 Verses 25-29 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. 26 So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised? 27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker. 28 A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God. Prayer Father God, we are humbled to be able to read and discuss your word. We pray that our words would bring clarity and that you would bless all that study your word with us. Lord, forgive us when we fall short of your standard and we pray we would not cause unbelievers to blaspheme your name. It is in your name Jesus that we pray. Amen.
