* If but thou a Jew art named , and doest rest in the law , and doest boast in God , * and knowest the will , and discernest the things differing , being instructed out of the law ; * hast believed and thyself a guide to be of blind ones , a light of those in darkness , * an instructor of simple ones , a teacher of babes , having the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law ; * who then art teaching another , thyself not doest thou teach ; who art preaching not to steal , doest thou steal ? * who art saying not to commit adultery , doest thou commit adultery ? who art detesting the idols , doest thou rob temples ? * who in a law boastest , through the violation of the law the God doest thou dishonor ? * The for name of the God through you is blasphemed among the nations , even as it has been written . * Circumcision indeed for profits , if law thou practisest ; if but a violator of law thou mayest be , the circumcision of thee uncircumcision has become . * If therefore the uncircumcision the ordinances of the law may keep , not the uncircumcision of him for circumcision will be counted ? * and will judge the from nature uncircumcision , the law perfecting , thee who through letter and circumcision a violator of law ? * Not for he in the outward appearance , a Jew is , nor that in the outward appearance , in flesh , circumcision ; * but he in the hidden a Jew , even circumcision of heart , in spirit , not letter ; of whom the praise not from men , but from the God .
