Romans:2:17-29
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Behold ,
thou art called a Jew ,
and restest in the law ,
and makest thy boast of God ,
*
And knowest his will ,
and approvest the things that are more excellent ,
being instructed out of the law ;
*
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind ,
a light of them which are in darkness ,
*
An instructor of the foolish ,
a teacher of babes ,
which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law .
*
Thou therefore which teachest another ,
teachest thou not thyself ?
thou that preachest a man should not steal ,
dost thou steal ?
*
Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery ,
dost thou commit adultery ?
thou that abhorrest idols ,
dost thou commit sacrilege ?
*
Thou that makest thy boast of the law ,
through breaking the law dishonourest thou God ?
*
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you ,
as it is written .
*
For circumcision verily profiteth ,
if thou keep the law :
but if thou be a breaker of the law ,
thy 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 fulfil the law ,
judge thee ,
who by the letter and circumcision dost 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 .
