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.

Romans 2:17-24

Please turn over to Romans 2, verse 17. The Jews were as guilty as the Gentiles for being in darkness, and even though they should have been a light, but they only had the form of knowledge and truth in the law.

The Jews were such hypocrites that they were a cause of blasphemy among the Gentiles, because the Gentiles looked at the Jews as claiming to be God's people, but not living His way of life.

So being a light equates to illumination of knowledge and understanding of truth and much more.

Romans 2:17-24

Let us go to Romans 2:17, where I want you to think of yourself in this context.

We know that Paul was speaking to those Jews who were not yet converted. At least, I hope that they were not yet converted and that they have opportunity yet to repent of those things. But this makes it very plain that God's name is hallowed - or profaned - by our conduct. The third commandment is kept - or broken - by the same. This is the commandment that tests the quality of our witness.
