Romans 2:17-29
[17]Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
[18]And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
[19]And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
[20]An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
[21]Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
[22]Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
[23]Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
[24]For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
[25]For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
[26]Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
[27]And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
[28]For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
[29]But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
