Romans 2:15-26

¹⁵in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing them);

¹⁶in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.

¹⁷But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,

¹⁸and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

¹⁹and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,

²⁰a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth;

²¹thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

²²thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples?

²³thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of the law dishonorest thou God?

²⁴For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written.

²⁵For circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou be a doer of the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

²⁶If therefore the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?
