Romans 2:17-25 Suppose you call yourself a Jew, and rely on law, and boast about God,

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Suppose you call yourself a Jew, and rely on law, and boast about God, ¹⁸ and can understand his will, and from hearing the Law read can tell what is right, ¹⁹ and you are sure that you can guide the blind, enlighten people who are in the dark, ²⁰ train the foolish, teach the young, since you have knowledge and truth formulated in the Law— ²¹ why, then, will you teach others and refuse to teach yourself? Will you preach against stealing, and yet steal yourself? ²² Will you warn men against adultery, and yet practice it yourself? Will you pretend to detest idols, and yet rob their temples? ²³ Will you boast of the Law and yet dishonor God by breaking it? ²⁴ For, as the Scripture says, the very name of God is abused among the heathen, because of you! ²⁵ Circumcision will help you only if you observe the Law; but if you are a lawbreaker, you might as well be uncircumcised.
