17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, |
18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; |
19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, |
20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. |
21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? |
22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? |
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? |
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. |
