Paul changes here from a warm tone to a harsh one. He warned the believers about the unbelieving Jews. In a careful choice of words, he turns Jewish identity on its head. Gentiles were the dogs—now it's the Jews. The heathen were the evildoers—now it's the descendents of Abraham. The pagans carried out self-mutilation—now, the Jews are lumped together with them. It was a shocking redefinition of what a Jew was. He tells them the true Jews are those who have the Spirit, boast in Christ alone, and count their own righteousness as of no merit. Christians are the new Jews and the new circumcision. Those who are part of the New Jerusalem are now the true Israel of God.
