Romans 2:17
Compare all
15 who show the awork of the law written in their hearts, their bconscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)  
16 ain the day when God will judge the secrets of men bby Jesus Christ, caccording to my gospel.  

The Jews Guilty as the Gentiles

17 Indeed ayou are called a Jew, and brest on the law, cand make your boast in God,  
18 and aknow His will, and bapprove the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,  
19 and aare confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,  
20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, ahaving the form of knowledge and truth in the law.  
21 aYou, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?  
22 You who say, “Do not commit adultery,” do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, ado you rob temples?  
23 You who amake your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?  
24 For a“the name of God is bblasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” as it is written.  

Circumcision of No Avail

25 aFor circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.  
26 Therefore, aif an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?  
27 And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, ajudge you who, even with your written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law?  
28 For ahe is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;  
29 but he is a Jew awho is one inwardly; and bcircumcision is that of the heart, cin the Spirit, not in the letter; dwhose praise is not from men but from God.
