Romans 2:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 For the Name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, (A)as it is written.
25 [a]For circumcision verily is profitable, if thou do the Law: but if thou be a transgressor of the Law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore [b]if the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the Law, shall not his [c]uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

- Romans 2:25 He precisely preventeth their objection, which set an holiness in circumcision, and the outward observation of the Law: So that he showeth that the outward circumcision, if it be separated from the inward, doth not only not justify, but also condemns them that are indeed circumcised, of whom requireth that, which is signifieth, that is to say, cleanness of the heart and the whole life, according to the commandment of the Law, so that if there be a man uncircumcised according to the flesh, who is circumcised in heart, he is far better and more to be more accounted of, than any Jew that is circumcised according to the flesh only.
- Romans 2:26 This is the figure Metonymy, for, if the uncircumcised.
- Romans 2:26 The state and condition of the uncircumcised.
