nsb - Romans:2:17-29

nsb@Romans:2:17 @ If you are a Jew in name and are resting on the law and taking glory in God,

nsb@Romans:2:18 @ you know his will. You approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law.

nsb@Romans:2:19 @ And you have confidence that you are a leader of the blind, a light to those in darkness.

nsb@Romans:2:20 @ You are an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law.

nsb@Romans:2:21 @ You then who teach another, do you teach yourself? You who preach not to steal, do you steal?

nsb@Romans:2:22 @ You who say man should not commit adultery do you commit adultery? You who abhors idols do you rob temples?

nsb@Romans:2:23 @ You who boast in the law do you by transgression of the law dishonor God?

nsb@Romans:2:24 @ The name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, just as it is written. (Ezekiel strkjv@36:20, 21)

nsb@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision is a benefit if you obey the law. But if you are a transgressor of the law your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

nsb@Romans:2:26 @ If therefore someone not circumcised obeys the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be considered circumcision?

nsb@Romans:2:27 @ The uncircumcised person is by nature, fulfilling the law. He will judge you because you transgress the law with your written code and circumcision.

nsb@Romans:2:28 @ He is not a Jew who is one on the outside. Neither is circumcision that which is on the outside in the flesh.

nsb@Romans:2:29 @ But he is a Jew who is so on the inside with circumcision of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
