Romans 2:24

Romans 2:24

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?

<< Romans 2:23

Romans 2:25 >>

Romans 2:24 For the name of God. The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles on account of the vices of the Jews. They make the religion which God has revealed contemptible among the heathen. They judged their religion by the scandalous conduct. Outsiders always judge a religion by the conduct of its votaries. As it is written. The passage to which Paul refers is found in Isaiah 52:5.
