kjc Romans:2:17-29 SEEK

*
Behold ,
you are called a Jew ,
and rest in the law ,
and make your boast of God ,
*
And know his will ,
and approve the things that are more excellent ,
being instructed out of the law ;
*
And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind ,
a light of them which are in darkness ,
*
An instructor of the foolish ,
a teacher of babes ,
which have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law .
*
You therefore which teach another ,
teach you not yourself ?
you that preach a man should not steal ,
do you steal ?
*
You that say a man should not commit adultery ,
do you commit adultery ?
you that abhor idols ,
do you commit sacrilege ?
*
You that make your boast of the law ,
through breaking the law do you dishonor God ?
*
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you ,
as it is written .
*
For circumcision truthfully profits ,
if you keep the law :
but if you be a breaker of the law ,
your circumcision is made uncircumcision .
*
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law ,
shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision ?
*
And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature ,
if it fulfill the law ,
judge you ,
who by the letter and circumcision do transgress the law ?
*
For he is 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 .
