(The Lord speaking is red text)

For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

Complete Jewish Bible:

For even those who are getting circumcised don’t observe the Torah. On the contrary, they want you to get circumcised so that they can boast of having gained your adherence.

Berean Standard Bible:

For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

American Standard Version:

For not even they who receive circumcision do themselves keep the law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
