Romans 2:27

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature,.... That is, the Gentiles, who are by nature uncircumcised; for as circumcision was by the command of God, and performed by the art of men, uncircumcision is by nature, and what men naturally have.

Nowif it, such persons,fulfil the law in Christ, they willjudge thee, the circumcision: and condemn, as Noah condemned the old world, Heb 11:7, and the men of Nineveh and the queen of the south will condemn the men of that generation, in which Christ lived, Mt 12:41.
