mnt - Romans:2:17-29

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

mnt@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will, and can test the things that differ; if you are instructed out of the Law,

mnt@Romans:2:19 @ and are confident that you yourself are a darkness,

mnt@Romans:2:20 @ 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?

mnt@Romans:2:21 @ You who are preaching that a man should not steal, do you practise theft?

mnt@Romans:2:22 @ 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?

mnt@Romans:2:23 @ You who are making your boast in the Law, do you habitually dishonor God through your transgressions of the Law?

mnt@Romans:2:24 @ For the name of God is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as the Scripture itself says.

mnt@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision does indeed profit, if you are obedient to the Law; but if you habitually break the Law, your circumcision is become uncircumcision.

mnt@Romans:2:26 @ So if the uncircumcised keeps the ordinance of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned equivalent to circumcision.

mnt@Romans:2:27 @ And shall not those who are physically uncircumcised, but who keep the Law, condemn you who are a breaker of the Law, although you have a written law and circumcision?

mnt@Romans:2:28 @ For the real Jew is not the man who is one outwardly, and the real circumcision is not outward in the flesh;

mnt@Romans:2:29 @ but the real Jew is one inwardly, and real circumcision is heart- circumcision, spiritual, not literal, praised not by men, but by God.
