What does Romans mean by "circumcision is a matter of the heart"?
Romans contrasts outward circumcision with an inward reality, saying a person is a Jew inwardly and that circumcision is "a matter of the heart." It adds that this is "by the Spirit, not by the letter." See Romans 2:28–29.

Rom 2:28-29
28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
29but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
