20 an instructor to the foolish, a teacher to children, because you have a type of knowledge and truth in the law.
21 As a result, you teach others, but you do not teach yourself. You preach that men should not steal, but you yourself steal.
22 You speak against adultery, but you commit adultery. You abominate idols, but you commit sacrilege.
23 You would glory in the law, but through a betrayal of the law you dishonor God.
24 (For because of you the name of God is being blasphemed among the Gentiles, just as it was written.)
25 Certainly, circumcision is beneficial, if you observe the law. But if you are a betrayer of the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.
26 And so, if the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this lack of circumcision be counted as circumcision?
