Romans 2:15-23 For they show that the work of the Law is written in their hearts, while their conscience bears them witness, as their reasonings accuse, or it may be defend, them,

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ For they show that the work of the Law is written in their hearts, while their conscience bears them witness, as their reasonings accuse, or it may be defend, them, ¹⁶ in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel. ¹⁷ Now if you bear the name of a Jew, and rely upon law, and boast yourself in God, ¹⁸ and know his will, and can test the things that differ; if you are instructed out of the Law, ¹⁹ and are confident that you yourself are a darkness, ²⁰ an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the young, because you have in the Law the form of knowledge and of the truth—well then, you who are teaching others, do you ever teach yourself? ²¹ You who are preaching that a man should not steal, do you practise theft? ²² You who keep saying that a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who hold idols in abhorrence, are you plundering their temples? ²³ You who are making your boast in the Law, do you habitually dishonor God through your transgressions of the Law?
