Riverside(i)
17 But if you bear the name of Jew and rely upon the Law, and make your boast in God
18 and know his will and are a judge of things that differ, because you have been taught out of the Law
19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness,
20 an instructor of the unwise, a teacher of the simple, because you have the form of knowledge and of truth in the Law —
21 you who are teaching another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach not to steal, do you steal?
22 You who say not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
23 You who boast of the Law, do you dishonor God by breaking the Law?
24 For "The name of God is reviled among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written.
25 Circumcision has value if you obey the Law. But if you are a breaker of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26 If an uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be credited for circumcision?
27 And the natural uncircumcision if it keeps the Law will judge you who with a written code and circumcision are still a law-breaker.
28 For it is not he who is one outwardly that is a Jew, nor is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh.
29 But he who is one secretly is a Jew, and circumcision is of the heart and in the spirit, not in the letter. His praise is not from men, but from God.
