Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.

Circumcision has value if you obey the law. But if you break the law, it is just as if you hadn’t been circumcised.

For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

The Jewish ceremony of circumcision has value only if you obey God’s law. But if you don’t obey God’s law, you are no better off than an uncircumcised Gentile.

爾等頑固強項、何曾心領割禮、而信奉教義。居常拂逆聖神、與爾列祖行同一轍。

總之、割禮無足貴、不割亦無足貴；惟恃再造之功、變化氣質、為足貴耳。

而以法為誇者、豈可明知故犯、以辱天主乎？

不寧惟是、凡承受割禮者、即有遵行全部律法之義務。爾既欲求義於律法之中、則與基督絕緣、而自置於恩寵之外矣。蓋吾人惟恃聖神而起信心、始有成義之望耳。在基督道中、受割與否、無關宏旨、亦惟興於仁而立於信而已矣。

爾在血統上為外邦人、且一般曾身受人為之割禮者、咸呼爾為未割之民。爾應恆念昔時爾本與基督相隔、處於義塞社會之外、於盟約恩諾為局外人、在世無所仰望、不識天主。

蓋外表之猶太人、非真猶太人；而形軀之割禮、非真割禮。惟內心為猶太人、真為猶太人；心靈之割禮、真為割禮。蓋割禮在精神、而不在形式、在取悅於天主、而不在苟合於人耳。然則猶太人受何特恩、割禮更有何益？曰：所受之恩、不勝縷述、而其最著者、厥為天主以聖言託付其手也。

其受割之儀式、不過為因信成義之印證、而其信德則於未割之時、固已全具矣。因是亞伯漢乃為未受割而因信成義者之父、亦為既受割而能踵效其未割時所具之信德者之父也。
