RYLT(i)
17 Lo, you are named a Jew, and do rest upon the law, and do boast in God,
18 and do know the will, and do approve the distinctions, being instructed out of the law,
19 and have confidence that you yourself are a leader of blind ones, a light of those in darkness,
20 an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21 You, then, who are teaching another, yourself do you not teach?
22 you who are preaching not to steal, do you steal? you who are saying not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? you who are abhorring the idols, do you rob temples?
23 you who in the law do boast, through the transgression of the law God do you dishonour?
24 for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among the nations, according as it has been written.
25 For circumcision, indeed, does profit, if law you may practise, but if a transgressor of law you may be, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26 If, therefore the uncircumcision the righteousness of the law may keep, shall not his uncircumcision for circumcision be reckoned?
27 and the uncircumcision, by nature, fulfilling the law, shall judge you who, through letter and circumcision, are a transgressor of law.
28 For he is not a Jew who is so outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is outward in flesh;
29 but a Jew is he who is so inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, of which the praise is not of men, but of God.
