Contradiction with Galatians 5:6
This verse states that neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters, contradicting the significance of keeping the law by physically uncircumcised individuals as mentioned in Romans 2:26.
Galatians 5:6: For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Contradiction with Galatians 6:15
Emphasizes that neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but being a new creation does, conflicting with Romans 2:26's idea that uncircumcision keeping the law is counted as circumcision.
Galatians 6:15: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Contradiction with Ephesians 2:15
Talks about abolishing the law of commandments, which contrasts with the implication in Romans 2:26 that the righteousness of the law can be fulfilled by those uncircumcised.
Ephesians 2:15: Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace;
Paradox #1
Some people might see a contradiction with Romans 2:26 because it implies that people who follow the law without being circumcised could be seen as righteous. This might seem inconsistent with other parts of the Bible that emphasize faith in Christ over following the law for salvation. However, the broader context of the passage argues that true righteousness is about faith and the heart, not just outward actions.
