Noyes(i)
17 But if thou art called a Jew, and restest on 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 to those who are in darkness,
20 an instructor of those who lack wisdom, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Law,
21 dost thou then who teachest another, not teach thyself? Thou who proclaimest that others should not steal, dost thou steal?
22 Dost thou who forbiddest to commit adultery, thyself commit adultery? Thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples?
23 Dost thou who boastest of the Law, dishonor God by breaking the Law?
24 For, as it is written, "the name of God is on your account blasphemed among the gentiles."
25 For circumcision is indeed a benefit to thee, if thou keep the Law; but if thou art a breaker of the Law, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision.
26 If then he who is uncircumcised keep the precepts of the Law, shall not he though uncircumcised be regarded as circumcised?
27 Yea, those who are by nature uncircumcised, if they perform the law, will judge thee, who having a written Law and circumcision, art a breaker of the 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 of the heart, spiritual, not literal, whose praise is not of men, but of God.
