Romans 2:17-29 - Jews Also Condemned By The Law

17 Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the Law, and boast in God; 18 and know His will and approve the things excelling, being instructed out of the Law; 19 and persuading yourselves to be a guide of the blind, a light to those in darkness; 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Law. 21 Therefore the one teaching another, do you not teach yourself? The one preaching not to steal, do you steal? 22 The one saying not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? The one detesting idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who boast in Law, do you dishonor God through breaking the Law? 24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the nations because of you, as it is written.

25 For circumcision truly profits if you keep the Law, but if you are a transgressor of the Law, circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26 If then the uncircumcision keeps the ordinances of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 27 And the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the Law, shall it not judge you, who through letter and circumcision become transgressors of the Law? 28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that outwardly in flesh; 29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart; in spirit and not in letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
