“Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?”
So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law's requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised? The reversal: Gentiles who fulfill the law's demands (phylassō dikaiōmata nomou) will be counted as circumcised (logizomai peritemnō). This scandalous assertion—that a Gentile's obedience outweighs a Jew's disobedience—dismantles Jewish privilege. Ethnicity and ritual observance matter far less than covenant faithfulness.
