“For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.”
Not even those who are circumcised are keeping the law, but they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your flesh. — Paul exposes Judaizer hypocrisy: they do not 'phylasso nomos' (keep the law) themselves, yet demand circumcision from Gentiles so they can 'kauchaomai' (boast) in the Gentiles' circumcised flesh, a perverse pride in proselyte-making.
