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,

the one who does the works of the law
will live by them.
