“And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?”
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 law-breaker. The uncircumcised obedient will be judge over the circumcised disobedient (krineō). The written law (gramma) and circumcision become accusations against the one who possesses them but does not practice them. Possession of privilege without faithfulness becomes a basis for judgment.
