ABU(i)
17 But if thou art called a Jew, and restest upon law, and makest thy boast in 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 those who are in darkness,
20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law;
21 thou then, that teachest another, dost thou not teach 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 in law, through the transgression of the law dishonorest thou God?
24 For, the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, as it is written.
25 For circumcision indeed profits, if thou keep the law; but if thou art a transgressor of law, thy circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26 If then the uncircumcision keep the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 And shall not the uncircumcision that is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of law?
28 For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly; nor is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh.
29 But he is a Jew, who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
