Romans:2:17-29
mkjv@Romans:2:17 @ Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the Law, and boast in God;
mkjv@Romans:2:18 @ and know [His] will and approve the things excelling, being instructed out of the Law;
mkjv@Romans:2:19 @ and persuading yourselves to be a guide of the blind, a light to those in darkness;
mkjv@Romans:2:20 @ an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Law.
mkjv@Romans:2:21 @ Therefore the [one] teaching another, do you not teach yourself? The [one] preaching not to steal, do you steal?
mkjv@Romans:2:22 @ The [one] saying not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? The [one] detesting idols, do you rob temples?
mkjv@Romans:2:23 @ [You] who boast in Law, do you dishonor God through breaking the Law?
mkjv@Romans:2:24 @ For the name of God is blasphemed among the nations because of you, as it is written.
mkjv@Romans:2:25 @ For circumcision truly profits if you keep [the] Law, but if you are a transgressor of the Law, circumcision becomes uncircumcision.
mkjv@Romans:2:26 @ If then the uncircumcision keeps the ordinances of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
mkjv@Romans:2:27 @ And the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the Law, shall it not judge you, who through letter and circumcision [become] transgressors of the Law?
mkjv@Romans:2:28 @ For he is not a Jew who [is one] outwardly, nor [is] circumcision that outwardly in flesh;
mkjv@Romans:2:29 @ but he [is] a Jew who [is one] inwardly, and circumcision [is] of the heart; in spirit and not in letter; whose praise [is] not from men, but from God.
