Rom 2:17: Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

Rom 2:18: And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

Rom 2:19: And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

Rom 2:20: An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

Rom 2:21: Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

Rom 2:22: Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

Rom 2:23: Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

Rom 2:24: For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

Rom 2:25: For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

Rom 2:26: Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

Rom 2:27: And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?

Rom 2:28: For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

Rom 2:29: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
