Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
Audio commentary on this verse
Note 4 at Ro 2:26: Notice that Paul did not say that the uncircumcision kept the Law. Instead he mentioned them keeping the "righteousness" of the Law (this verse) and "fulfilling" the Law (Ro 2:27)--there is a difference. A person can fulfill the righteousness of the Law through faith in Jesus, but no one, Jew or Gentile, can keep the Law.
