Romans 2:17-28

17But if thou bearest the name of a JewG2453, and restest upon the lawG3551, and gloriest in GodG2316, 18and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are excellent, being instructedG2727 out of the lawG3551, 19and art confidentG3982 that thou thyself art a guideG3595 of the blindG5185, a lightG5457 of them that areG1510 in darknessG4655, 20a corrector of the foolishG878, a teacherG1320 of babes, having in the lawG3551 the form of knowledgeG1108 and of the truthG225; 21thou thereforeG3767 that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not stealG2813, dost thou stealG2813? 22thou that sayest a man should not commitG3431 adulteryG3431, dost thou commitG3431 adulteryG3431? thou that abhorrest idolsG1497, dost thou rob temples? 23thou who gloriest in the lawG3551, through thy transgressionG3847 of the lawG3551 dishonorest thou GodG2316? 24For the nameG3686 of GodG2316 is blasphemedG987 among the GentilesG1484 because of you, even as it is writtenG1125. 25For circumcisionG4061 indeedG1063 profiteth, if thou beG1510 a doer of the lawG3551: but if thou beG1510 a transgressorG3848 of the lawG3551, thy circumcisionG4061 isG1510 becomeG1096 uncircumcisionG203. 26If thereforeG3767 the uncircumcisionG203 keepG5442 the ordinances of the lawG3551, shall not his uncircumcisionG203 be reckonedG3049 for circumcisionG4061? 27and shall not the uncircumcisionG203 which is by natureG5449, if it fulfil the lawG3551, judgeG2919 thee, who with the letterG1121 and circumcisionG4061 art a transgressorG3848 of the lawG3551? 28For he isG1510 not a JewG2453 who isG1510 oneG3588 outwardly; neither isG1510 that circumcisionG4061 which isG1510 outwardG5318 in the fleshG4561:
