Romans:2:17-29
emtv@Romans:2:17 @ Behold, you are called a Jew, and rely on the law, and boast in God,
emtv@Romans:2:18 @ and know His will, and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law,
emtv@Romans:2:19 @ and are convinced that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those in darkness,
emtv@Romans:2:20 @ an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
emtv@Romans:2:21 @ You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?
emtv@Romans:2:22 @ You who say, "Do not commit adultery,"do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you commit sacrilege?
emtv@Romans:2:23 @ You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God through the transgression of the law?
emtv@Romans:2:24 @ For "The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,"just as it is written.
emtv@Romans:2:25 @ For indeed circumcision profits if you keep the law; but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
emtv@Romans:2:26 @ Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
emtv@Romans:2:27 @ And will not the physically uncircumcised, who keeps the law, judge you along with your written [code] and circumcision, as a lawbreaker?
emtv@Romans:2:28 @ For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in flesh;
emtv@Romans:2:29 @ but he [is] a Jew that [is one] inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, in [the] spirit, not in [the ]letter, whose praise is not from men but from God.
