15 This proves that the conscience is like a law written in the human heart. And it will show whether we are forgiven or condemned,
16 when God appoints Jesus Christ to judge everyone's secret thoughts, just as my message says.
17 Some of you call yourselves Jews. You trust in the Law and take pride in God.
18 By reading the Scriptures you learn how God wants you to behave, and you discover what is right.
19 You are sure that you are a guide for the blind and a light for all who are in the dark.
20 And since there is knowledge and truth in God's Law, you think you can instruct fools and teach young people.
21 But how can you teach others when you refuse to learn? You preach that it is wrong to steal. But do you steal?
