15 that show the work of the law written in their hearts (or who show the work of the Law written on their hearts). For the conscience of them yieldeth to them a witnessing (or a testimony) betwixt themselves of thoughts that be accusing or defending,
16 in the day when God shall deem the privy things of men after my gospel, by Jesus Christ. (on the day when God shall judge the private, or the secret, things of men, according to my Gospel or Good News, through Jesus Christ.)
17 But if thou art named a Jew, and restest in the law, and hast glory (or pride) in God, (But if thou art called a Jew, and leanest on the Law, and hast boasted about God,)
18 and hast known his will, and thou learned by the law (ap)provest or hast proved the more profitable things,
19 and trustest thyself to be a leader of blind men, the light of them that be in darknesses (or the light for those who be in darkness),
20 a teacher of unwise men, a master of young children (or a teacher of young children), that hast the form of cunning, (or of knowing), or of science, (or of knowledge), and of (the) truth in the law;
21 what then teachest thou another, and teachest not thyself? (or why then teachest thou someone else, but teachest not thyself?) Thou that preachest that me/that men shall not steal, stealest? or Thou that preachest to not steal, stealest?
22 Thou that teachest that me/that men shall not do lechery, doest lechery? or Thou that sayest to not do lechery, doest lechery? Thou that loathest maumets or idols, doest sacrilege? (Thou who teachest that me or that men shall not do adultery, doest adultery? Thou who loathest idols, doest sacrilege?)
23 Thou that hast glory in the law, unworshippest God by breaking of the law? (Thou who hast boasted about the Law, dishonourest God by breaking the Law?)
24 For the name of God is blasphemed by you among (the) heathen men, as it is written.
25 For circumcision profiteth, if thou keep the law; but if thou be a trespasser against the law, thy circumcision is made prepuce. (For circumcision profiteth, if thou keep the Law; but if thou be a trespasser against the Law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.)
26 Therefore if (the) prepuce (or the heathen men) keep the rightwiseness of the law, whether his prepuce shall not be areckoned into circumcision? (And so if the uncircumcised, or the Gentiles, keep the righteousness of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned as circumcision?)
