Matthew 23:3
23:3 Therefore pay attention to what they tell you and do it. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they teach.
Matthew 23:15
23:15 “Woe to you, experts in the law and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You cross land and sea to make one convert, and when you get one, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves!
Matthew 23:23
23:23 “Woe to you, experts in the law and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You give a tenth of mint, dill, and cumin, yet you neglect what is more important in the law – justice, mercy, and faithfulness! You should have done these things without neglecting the others.
Romans 2:17-24
The Condemnation of the Jew
2:17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast of your relationship to God
2:18 and know his will and approve the superior things because you receive instruction from the law,
2:19 and if you are convinced that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
2:20 an educator of the senseless, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the essential features of knowledge and of the truth –
2:21 therefore you who teach someone else, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
2:22 You who tell others not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
2:23 You who boast in the law dishonor God by transgressing the law!
2:24 For just as it is written, “the name of God is being blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”
Romans 3:9-19
The Condemnation of the World
3:9 What then? Are we better off? Certainly not, for we have already charged that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin,
3:10 just as it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one,
3:11 there is no one who understands,
there is no one who seeks God.
3:12 All have turned away,
together they have become worthless;
there is no one who shows kindness, not even one.”
3:13 “Their throats are open graves,
they deceive with their tongues,
the poison of asps is under their lips.”
3:14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
3:15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood,
3:16 ruin and misery are in their paths,
3:17 and the way of peace they have not known.”
3:18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.
Romans 3:2
3:2 Actually, there are many advantages.
First of all,
the Jews
were entrusted with the oracles of God.
Romans 2:19
2:19 and if you are convinced
that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
