Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
For here indicates that what follows is the reason for what has just been stated. This verse is Paul’s conclusion to the statements he made in 2:25–27. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: “In fact” or “Truly”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
Ἰουδαῖός
/a/_Jew
Here Paul uses Jew to refer to someone who is one of God’s people because he truly trusts in God for salvation, as Abraham did. Jew here does not refer to someone who only has Jewish ancestors. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a spiritual Jew”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν τῷ φανερῷ
on the outward
Here, visibly refers to the Jewish religious practices that other people can see, such as circumcision or wearing special clothing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “does externally visible Jewish rituals”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἡ & περιτομή
the & circumcision
Here Paul uses circumcision to refer to the change in thinking and attitude that happens when God saves a person. It can also be considered an inward mark of belonging to God’s people, like how circumcision was an outer mark of being Jewish. This was called “circumcision of the heart” in the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 30:6; Jeremiah 4:4). Here, circumcision does not refer to the Jewish ritual. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “this spiritual circumcision”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ἐν σαρκὶ
on in in flesh
Paul uses the flesh figuratively to mean “the whole body,” which is made of flesh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or plain language. Alternate translation: “on the body”
