Romans 2:26

And if uncircumcision should keep the precepts of the law, would not that uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?

James Murdock's Translation of the Syriac Peshitta

In The King James Version

Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27And the uncircumcision, which from its nature fulfilleth the law, will judge thee; who, with the scripture, and with circumcision, transgressest against the law.
