Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you continue to abide in My Word, you are truly My disciples.

They answered and said to Him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

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

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

Moreover, it is not as though the Word of God has fallen away. For not all those of Israel are Israel,

For we are the circumcision, who serve God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in the flesh,

Blessed is the man to whom Jehovah does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

i1 [A Psalm of Asaph.] i0 par Truly God is good to Israel, to the pure of heart.

Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,

Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth;

And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without blemish before the throne of God.
