28 A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.

28 For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical.

28 For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision.

28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;

28 They can do this because a person is not a true Jew if he is only a Jew in his physical body; true circumcision is not only on the outside of the body.

28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:

28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither that circumcision which is outward in flesh;

28 A person is not a Jew because of his appearance, nor is circumcision a matter of how the body looks.

28 For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, and true circumcision is not something visible in the flesh.

28 For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something external and physical.

28 For the Jew is not one outwardly, nor is circumcision outwardly, in the flesh.

28 A man is not a Jew if he is a Jew only on the outside. And circumcision is more than just something done to the outside of a man’s body.

28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.
