14. for when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature that which is of the law, these, not having the law, are a law unto themselves;
15. which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, accusing and also excusing their reasonings one with another)
16. in the day when God shall judge that which men have covered up, according to my gospel by Jesus, the Christ.
17. Behold, thou doth call thyself a Jew and art supported by the law and doth glory in God
18. and dost know his will and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19. and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness,
20. an instructor of the ignorant, a teacher of children, who hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21. Thou, therefore, who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22. Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? Thou that dost abhor idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23. Thou that makest thy boast of the law, with rebellion to the law doth thou dishonour God?
24. For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25. For circumcision verily profits if thou keep the law, but if thou art a rebel to the law, thy circumcision is made into a foreskin.
26. Therefore if the uncircumcised keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his foreskin be counted for circumcision?
27. And that which is by nature foreskin, but keeps the law perfectly, shall judge thee who with the letter and with the circumcision art rebellious to the law.
28. For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is done outwardly in the flesh;
