* Behold , thou art called (5743 ) a Jew , and restest (5736 ) in the law , and makest thy boast (5736 ) of God , * And knowest (5719 ) his will , and approvest (5719 ) the things that are more excellent (5723 ), being instructed (5746 ) out of the law ; * And art confident (5754 ) that thou thyself art (5750 ) a guide of the blind , a light of them which are in darkness , * An instructor of the foolish , a teacher of babes , which hast (5723 ) the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law . * Thou therefore which teachest (5723 ) another , teachest thou (5719 ) not thyself ? thou that preachest (5723 ) a man should not steal (5721 ), dost thou steal (5719 )? * Thou that sayest (5723 ) a man should not commit adultery (5721 ), dost thou commit adultery (5719 )? thou that abhorrest (5740 ) idols , dost thou commit sacrilege (5719 )? * Thou that makest thy boast (5736 ) of the law , through breaking the law dishonourest thou (5719 ) God ? * For the name of God is blasphemed (5743 ) among the Gentiles through you , as it is written (5769 ). * For circumcision verily profiteth (5719 ), if thou keep (5725 ) the law : but if thou be (5753 ) a breaker of the law , thy circumcision is made (5754 ) uncircumcision . * Therefore if the uncircumcision keep (5725 ) the righteousness of the law , shall not his uncircumcision be counted (5701 ) for circumcision ? * And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature , if it fulfil (5723 ) the law , judge (5692 ) thee , who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law ? * For he is (5748 ) not a Jew , which is one outwardly ; neither is that circumcision , which is outward in the flesh : * But he is a Jew , which is one inwardly ; and circumcision is that of the heart , in the spirit , and not in the letter ; whose praise is not of men , but of God .
