Romans 2:17-25 Now if you bear the name of a Jew, and rely upon law, and boast yourself in God,

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Now if you bear the name of a Jew, and rely upon law, and boast yourself in God, ¹⁸ and know his will, and can test the things that differ; if you are instructed out of the Law, ¹⁹ and are confident that you yourself are a darkness, ²⁰ an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the young, because you have in the Law the form of knowledge and of the truth—well then, you who are teaching others, do you ever teach yourself? ²¹ You who are preaching that a man should not steal, do you practise theft? ²² You who keep saying that a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who hold idols in abhorrence, are you plundering their temples? ²³ You who are making your boast in the Law, do you habitually dishonor God through your transgressions of the Law? ²⁴ For the name of God is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as the Scripture itself says. ²⁵ Circumcision does indeed profit, if you are obedient to the Law; but if you habitually break the Law, your circumcision is become uncircumcision.
