Romans 2:17-29

Anderson(i) 17 But if you are named Jew, and rest in the law, and make your boast in God. 18 and know his will, and approve what is excellent, being instructed by the law: 19 if you are also confident that you yourself are a guide for the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the simple, a teacher of the unlearned, because you have the form of true knowledge in the law; 21 you, then, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal? 22 You who say that a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who make your boast in the law, do you, by transgressing the law, dishonor God? 24 For the name of God is reviled among the Gentiles, on account of you, as it is written. 25 Now, circumcision is indeed profitable, if you keep the law: but, if you transgress the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26 If, then, he who is uncircumcised keeps the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 27 And shall not he whose want of circumcision is owing to his birth, if he keeps the law, condemn you, who, by the literal circumcision, transgress the law? 28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh: 29 but 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 of men, but of God.
