Romans 2:28-2928 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is

circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; 29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and

circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

Galatians 3:26-2926For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
