Romans 2:17-24

New American Standard Bible

The Jews under the Law

¹⁷ But if you call yourself a ^[a]Jew and ^(A)rely ^[b]upon the Law and boast in God, ¹⁸ and know His will and ^[c](B)distinguish the things that matter, being instructed from the Law, ¹⁹ and are confident that you yourself are a guide to people who are blind, a light to those in darkness, ²⁰ a ^[d]corrector of the foolish, a teacher of ^[e]the immature, possessing in the Law ^(C)the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth— ²¹ you, therefore, ^(D)who teach someone else, do you not teach yourself? You who ^[f]preach that one is not to steal, do you steal? ²² You who say that one is not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who loathe idols, do you ^(E)rob temples? ²³ You who ^(F)boast ^[g]in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonor God? ²⁴ For “^(G)the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles ^(H)because of you,” just as it is written.
