For we are the circumcision, the ones who worship by the Spirit of God, boast in Christ Jesus, and do not put confidence in the flesh—

因为真受割礼的，乃是我们这以神的灵敬拜、在基督耶稣里夸口、不靠着肉体的。

因为真受割礼的，就是我们这藉着上帝的灵敬拜、以基督耶稣为夸耀、不依靠肉体的。

因为真受割礼的，就是我们这藉着神的灵敬拜、以基督耶稣为夸耀、不依靠肉体的。

因为真正受割礼的人是我们这些靠着上帝的灵敬拜、以基督耶稣为荣、不倚靠自身条件的人。

其实我们这些靠神的灵来敬拜，在基督耶稣里夸口而不倚靠肉体的人，才是受割礼的，

实际上，我们才是受过割礼的人，就是藉着神的灵事奉，在基督耶稣里夸耀，不依靠肉体的人。

因為真受割禮的，乃是我們這以神的靈敬拜、在基督耶穌裏誇口、不靠着肉體的。

因為真受割禮的，就是我們這藉着上帝的靈敬拜、以基督耶穌為誇耀、不依靠肉體的。

因為真受割禮的，就是我們這藉着神的靈敬拜、以基督耶穌為誇耀、不依靠肉體的。

因為真正受割禮的人是我們這些靠著上帝的靈敬拜、以基督耶穌為榮、不倚靠自身條件的人。

其實我們這些靠神的靈來敬拜，在基督耶穌裡誇口而不倚靠肉體的人，才是受割禮的，

真的受割禮呢、我們才是，我們這以靈來事奉，拿基督耶穌來誇口、不倚靠肉體的人。

實際上，我們才是受過割禮的人，就是藉著神的靈事奉，在基督耶穌裡誇耀，不依靠肉體的人。

蓋我儕以上帝之神而崇拜、於基督耶穌而誇、不恃乎形軀、是乃受割者也、

我儕心事上帝、以基督耶穌為悅、不恃儀文、是真受割禮者、

我儕心事天主、以基督耶穌為誇、不恃外貌、外貌原文作肉軀下同是真受割禮者、

吾人苟能以天主之精神、昭事天主、一心以基督耶穌為榮、而不恃形體、斯則真受割禮矣。

For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—

But we have been truly circumcised. We serve God by the power of his Spirit. We boast about what Christ Jesus has done. We don’t put our trust in who we are or what we can do.

For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh—

For we who worship by the Spirit of God are the ones who are truly circumcised. We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us. We put no confidence in human effort,

for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and take pride in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh,

For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

for we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:

For we are the circumcision, the ones who serve by the Spirit of God, boast in Christ Jesus, and do not put confidence in the flesh—

For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

For we are the circumcision, the ones who worship by the Spirit of God, exult in Christ Jesus, and do not rely on human credentials

For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

You were also circumcised in him with a circumcision not done with hands, by putting off the body of flesh, in the circumcision of Christ,

For even the circumcised don’t keep the law themselves, and yet they want you to be circumcised in order to boast about your flesh.But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The world has been crucified to me through the cross, and I to the world.For both circumcision and uncircumcision mean nothing; what matters instead is a new creation.

The LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the hearts of your descendants, and you will love him with all your heart and all your soul so that you will live.

But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the old letter of the law.

If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

Circumcision benefits you if you observe the law, but if you are a lawbreaker, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.So if an uncircumcised man keeps the law’s requirements, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?A man who is physically uncircumcised, but who keeps the law, will judge you who are a lawbreaker in spite of having the letter of the law and circumcision.For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, and true circumcision is not something visible in the flesh.On the contrary, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart— by the Spirit, not the letter. That person’s praise is not from people but from God.

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while still uncircumcised. This was to make him the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, so that righteousness may be credited to them also.And he became the father of the circumcised, who are not only circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith our father Abraham had while he was still uncircumcised.

For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. Instead, you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out,“ Abba, Father!”

Circumcise yourselves to the LORD; remove the foreskin of your hearts, men of Judah and residents of Jerusalem. Otherwise, my wrath will break out like fire and burn with no one to extinguish it because of your evil deeds.

But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in truth. Yes, the Father wants such people to worship him.God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and in truth.”

Egypt, Judah, Edom, the Ammonites, Moab, and all the inhabitants of the desert who clip the hair on their temples. All these nations are uncircumcised, and the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.’”

Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.

although I have reasons for confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more:circumcised the eighth day; of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; regarding the law, a Pharisee;regarding zeal, persecuting the church; regarding the righteousness that is in the law, blameless.But everything that was a gain to me, I have considered to be a loss because of Christ.More than that, I also consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Because of him I have suffered the loss of all things and consider them as dung, so that I may gain Christand be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law, but one that is through faith in Christ— the righteousness from God based on faith.

Therefore, circumcise your hearts and don’t be stiff-necked any longer.

Boast in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

because you have been born again— not of perishable seed but of imperishable— through the living and enduring word of God.For All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like a flower of the grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls,but the word of the Lord endures forever. And this word is the gospel that was proclaimed to you.

All the descendants of Israel will be justified and boast in the LORD.

Therefore I have reason to boast in Christ Jesus regarding what pertains to God.

“‘ This is what the LORD says: The wise person should not boast in his wisdom; the strong should not boast in his strength; the wealthy should not boast in his wealth.But the one who boasts should boast in this: that he understands and knows me— that I am the LORD, showing faithful love, justice, and righteousness on the earth, for I delight in these things. This is the LORD’s declaration.

God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in telling the good news about his Son— that I constantly mention you,

Your name will no longer be Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I will make you the father of many nations.I will make you extremely fruitful and will make nations and kings come from you.I will confirm my covenant that is between me and you and your future offspring throughout their generations. It is a permanent covenant to be your God and the God of your offspring after you.And to you and your future offspring I will give the land where you are residing— all the land of Canaan— as a permanent possession, and I will be their God.”God also said to Abraham,“ As for you, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations are to keep my covenant.This is my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you, which you are to keep: Every one of your males must be circumcised.You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskin to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and you.

But you, dear friends, as you build yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

so that no one may boast in his presence.It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us— our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption—in order that, as it is written: Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.

“ My name will be great among the nations, from the rising of the sun to its setting. Incense and pure offerings will be presented in my name in every place because my name will be great among the nations,” says the LORD of Armies.
