Worsley(i)
17 Behold thou art called a Jew, and restest on the law, and boastest in God,
18 and knowest his will, and approvest things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19 and art persuaded that thou art a guide of the blind,
20 a light to them that are in the darkness, an instructor of the simple, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth which is in the law.
21 Thou then, who 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 boastest in the law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God?
24 for through you the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles, as it is written.
25 For circumcision indeed is profitable, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if the uncircumcised keep the righteous precepts of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be accounted to him for circumcision?
27 and shall not the uncircumcision that is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law? for he is not a Jew, who is only so in appearance;
28 nor is that circumcision, which is only in appearance, 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 from men, but from God.
