Romans 2:1
The Condemnation of the Moralist
2:1 Therefore you are without excuse, whoever you are, when you judge someone else. For on whatever grounds you judge another, you condemn yourself, because you who judge practice the same things.
Romans 2:21-29
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.”
2:25 For circumcision has its value if you practice the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
2:26 Therefore if the uncircumcised man obeys the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?
2:27 And will not the physically uncircumcised man who keeps the law judge you who, despite the written code and circumcision, transgress the law?
2:28 For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision something that is outward in the flesh,
2:29 but someone is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart by the Spirit and not by the written code. This person’s praise is not from people but from God.
