Romans 2:26 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The uncircumcision; i.e. the uncircumcised; a figurative and frequent way of speaking: see Romans 3:30, Romans 4:9. Keep the righteousness of the law; which none of them ever did; but admit they could, or else, which some of them have done, in sincerity, though with manifold imperfections; such as the two centurions, one of which is mentioned in the Gospel of Luke, the other in the Acts: if in this sense the uncircumcised keep the righteousness of the law, shall they not be all one in the account of God as if they were circumcised? See Romans 4:10.

Romans 2:26

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