Romans 2:29

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God.

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

World English Bible (WEB)

But{G235} he is a Jew{G2453}, which is one inwardly{G1722}{G2927}; and{G2532} circumcision{G4061} is that of the heart{G2588}, in{G1722} the spirit{G4151}, and not{G3756} in the letter{G1121}; whose{G3739} praise{G1868} is not{G3756} of{G1537} men{G444}, but{G235} of{G1537} God{G2316}.

Strong's King James

(29) Rather he's a Judean whose circumcised in the hidden heart, in The רוּחַ Ruach-Spirit and not by the letter! His praise isn't from men rather from The אֱלֹהִים Elohim-God!

The F.O.G*
[29] No, a true Jew is one inwardly, and true circumcision is a matter of the heart – carried out by the Spirit, not by human ceremony. Such a person receives praise not from other people, but from God Himself.
The F.O.G Paraphrase

but a Jew is he who is so inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, of which the praise is not of men, but of God.
